( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Let's remove for a moment the additional confusion that CGI introduces. And then let's fix those syntax errors that are preventing your code from even compiling. Now we can look at your script like this:

use strict; use warnings; my $command = do{ local $/ = undef; <DATA> }; $command =~ m/(!\w+\s?.+?)(?=!\w)/simg; if( $command eq "" ) { print "Add a command, man!\n"; } else { if( $command =~ /^\!Book/ ) { print "Found a Book\n\n"; } elsif ( $command =~ /^\!Number/ ) { print "Time to log a phone number\n\n"; } print "Command has the following in it : $command and was started + at \n"; printf "Time %s\n", scalar(localtime); print "Command 1 is $1\n"; print "And Command 2 is $2\n\n"; print "Command 3 is $3\n\n"; print "\n"; } __DATA__

Now what input should we be considering? What exactly would go under "__DATA__"? And then next, tell us what exact output you want to see (wrap that in a separate set of code tags).

Once we know those two variables, we'll have a better chance of being able to help.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
