Re: How to find out the calling URL??

[Juerd]

I don't want my script to be executed directly bu user. Is there any way by which i can find out the calling url in PERL.

I assume you're a CGI programmer. You can use $ENV{HTTP_REFERER}, but that will not always work as expected. Actually, there is _no_ way to be sure.

Oh, and there is no PERL. Perl is the language, perl the interpreter.

Of course there is, otherwise why would there be this? ;-)

And the best quote from the docs...

Unfortunately there is no documentation for PERL (believe me I've looked everywhere). Therefore, the best thing to do is to go straight to comp.lang.perl.misc and ask your questions there.

Guess a few of them got lost and found their way here instead.

I think perlfaq1 describes this rather clearly. What part of it do you not understand?

that guy must be new in perl and trying to solve his problem instead of learning it.

As far as I know, the focus here is learning, not solving problems. Through learning, one can eventually solve many problems, but acquiring knowledge usually comes before using that knowledge.

do it quickly without spending hours learning it

Asking for help without being willing to learn is imnsho abuse of our services. Those who do not want to learn should hire a programmer. See also http://juerd.nl/perl_needhelp.
