Re: Use CGI to run a Perl script via web server

G'day suvajit123,

Welcome to the Monastery.

The code you posted:

#create CGI query object to get the SSO from URL
my $sso = new CGI;
my $sso = $query->param( "sso" );

Should probably be:

#create CGI query object to get the SSO from URL
my $query = new CGI;
my $sso = $query->param( "sso" );

You've used strict which would have aborted your script with:

Global symbol "$query" requires explicit package name (did you forget 
+to declare "my $query"?) at ...

That's probably in your web server logs. Consider using CGI::Carp, while developing, to see these types of messages immediately, with:

use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';

You should also turn on warnings. Had you done so, Perl would have given you more help like this:

"my" variable $sso masks earlier declaration in same scope at ...
