in reply to open a file and print out to webbrowser
Ah. PerlScript. :)
One problem is with your filename string:
my $sitelist_file="<c:\supportweb\content\sitelist.txt" print $sitelist_file; __END__ <c:supportwebntentsitelist.txt
Double-quoted strings treat backslash as starting escape sequences. Use single quotes instead:
my $sitelist_file='<c:\supportweb\content\sitelist.txt'; print $sitelist_file; __END__ <c:\supportweb\content\sitelist.txt
A more fundamental problem is that you're not checking if your open succeeded. A standard check would have revealed this problem to you:
open DATA, $sitelist_file or die "Cannot open '$sitelist_file': '$!'";
... that is, if you know where to find the error log. It's been too long since I looked at ASP and PerlScript.
Oh, and you have a syntax error. Typo? for each should be foreach, or simply for:
for my $line (@lines){ $response->write($line); }
print "Just another Perl ${\(trickster and hacker)},"
The Sidhekin proves Sidhe did it!
