Home: Perl Programming Help: Beginner: Writing a cgi page builder in Perl, need help

TheGoobCow New User Nov 8, 2004, 3:31 PM Post #1 of 2 (1045 views) Writing a cgi page builder in Perl, need help Can't Post Ok. I'm writing a CGI to build a very simple webpage. It has some forms, and it asks the users name, gives the user a series of checkboxes with different sections of the website next to them, and a few radio buttons with color names next to them. When the user clicks a few sections (such as news and sports) and a color (red), it displays the page again with the same form at the top, while displaying the news and sports on a page with a red background. Here's the problem. I want the form to remain the same after the user hits submit (instead of being cleared or filled with default values) Also, I want a cookie created that remembers this data when the user leaves and restores it if(hopefully when :) ) they return. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this done? Thanks!

As far as the cookie, you can also use the CGI module to read and write cookies. How you store the data in the cookie is up to you within the limitations of a cookie file. See the documentation for the CGI module which can be read on www.perldoc.com (unless the site is down again) or here is another link to the same document (I think): http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/ -------------------------------------------------
