Home: Perl Programming Help: Regular Expressions: STDIN & STDOUT

Pro_4 User Apr 24, 2001, 2:00 PM Post #1 of 8 (7527 views) STDIN & STDOUT Can't Post I read in a perl book that stdin and stdout take in information that is input through the keyboard. I understand the concept for using it on your computer programs but how about web applications? Is STDIN and STDOUT used in cgi programs on sites? Always add fun to Perl $fun = "fun"; $perl = "Perl"; print " Always add $fun to $perl"; die;

I shouldn't have answered in the first place as I'm not familiar with CGI at all. The only "good" thing in my post is the word guess and that's what my aswer was - a guess :-( Jean Spector QA Engineer @ Extent Technologies, Ltd. mage@lycosmail.com

localfilmmaker stranger May 8, 2001, 11:26 AM Post #8 of 8 (7473 views) Re: STDIN & STDOUT [In reply to] Can't Post STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR are all used in CGI scripts as well as console programs. With CGI scripts, the web server that executes your CGI scripts will send all CGI params to you script's STDIN for it to read. And then it will get all output from the script's STDOUT and return it as the response to the browser. Depending on the web server, any errors or warnings printed to STDERR will either get printed with your STDOUT as part of the response, or it will be ignored or logged in a log file. That's how it usually works. -localfilmmaker Spencer Christensen spencer@mecworks.com
