Web - A set of useful routines for many webworking purposes SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS This module was primarily made for UNIX/Linux-Systems. Parts of it cannot be used on other systems. E.g. the procedures for file locking demand systems that can use symlinks. If you use the modul on systems where symlinks cannot be used, fatal errors may happen. SYNOPSIS use web; ABSTRACT This perl module serves users with several useful routines for many purposes, like generating webpages, processing CGI scripts, working with XML datafiles and net-connections. It also uses own variants of routines, that was invented first in the famous libraries CGI.pm and cgi-lib.pl. SYNOPSIS use web; INSTALLATION Copy web.pm into the Perl library directory and set it readable by everyone. If you don't have sufficient privileges to install web.pm in the Perl library directory, you can put web.pm into some convenient spot, such as your home directory, or in cgi-bin itself and prefix all Perl scripts that call it with something along the lines of the following preamble: use lib '/home/myname/perl/lib'; use web; AUTHOR INFORMATION Copyright 1999 Wolfgang Wiese.
