Re: [SLUG] Fun with perl

I figured it out. I used

print "Content-Type: text/plain \n\n";

Now does anyone know how I can add some sort of user input to this script? Let's say for example I want the user to be able to specify other users besides joeuser from the web browser. I know with bash you can use a $1 in the script so that when you execute ./testscript.sh myuser it will replace $1 with myuser.

I'm looking to use this script in my apache cgi-bin so that users can list specific contents of a file in their web browser. It works ok except that it jumbles the lines togethor. Is there a cleaner way to do this so that it looks readable?

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/html \n\n";

print `cat -b /var/www/html/auth.log | grep joeuser`;
