Home: Perl Programming Help: Beginner: Passing paths using a URL

seriousfun Novice Apr 2, 2000, 5:39 AM Post #1 of 2 (864 views) Passing paths using a URL Can't Post I have a form which allows the input of a path eg: http://www.somewhere.com/cgi/bin/script.cgi when I process the form the URL holds %252F where the forward slash was. What do I do to pass this path correctly? Any help or alternat method would be appreciated.

Im using the escape function from CGI.pm to URL-encode my data and it works great. So-> instead of seeing this in your url %252F you would see a forward slash. Example:: lets say I have variable name pwdone and the value is //*io ->well then to encode this to the url regulation I leave this up to the escape function.... cure.cgi?pwdone=$q->escape('//*io'); Cure
