Journal for Bruce B. Salem


July 15, 2005 The HTML for this page was made by a perl script.

Perl with CGI.pm accepts this in a free form text block and just emitts what looks like an HTML paragraph. I could try to add do-dads later, such as putting the paragraph into a table setting background color, font style, etc.

This second paragraph is an addition since I first ran the script, and the output is pretty ugly, but I like the free form of the entry of the data. Maybe this program needs a perl script to create it from an ordinary text file. It would add the perl code to the text file and then run that to generate this HTML.

There was stuff at the top of this page that appeared to come from a header object which returned the content type and printed it here. Originally I generated this HTML file by redirecting from the shell the standard out of the perl script. The right thing to do would be to open a file handle for the HTML and leave standard out alone.
