[MacPerl] Thanks 4 HELP, it Works But.....

[Simone <eu001@dada.it>]

Hi Alan, Robert, Tom and Darryl

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
Done all what you wrote me !
I'm using Web* 2.0 along to MacPerl, configured suffix and actions, and
seems to be working... (saving as CGI)

Just a general question...
How much, an already done and working script (on Perl 4 SGI), is compatible
with  a MacPerl script ?
In example in order to get forms variable I usally use this lines:

if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'POST')
{
	read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
	@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
	foreach $pair (@pairs)
	{
		($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
		$value =~ tr/+/ /;
		$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
		$value =~ tr/,/ /;
		$contents{$name} = $value;
	}
}


Is this valid for MacPerl ? I suppose no. :(

and what about path variables like
$filepath = "/www/web/user/folder/file.txt";

are compatible ?

I'm going to think that should not be so easy to make a porting of my
existing script, on a Mac platform.... I've heard that on WindowsNT is not
so hard !

I do not want to bore you and listmembers too much with my novice
questions, so if you could forward me some links to online manuals, where I
can learn how to port my scripts on Mac will be enought.

Thanks again for your courtesy.
