Re: [Arsperl-users] Manually passing arguments to a cgi program

[Bowman, B. A <Bow...@st...>]

When you run a perl script from the command line, you omit the "?" and
add all of your param=3Dvalue pairs after it.  Like this:

./myscript.pl param1=3Dvalue1 param2=3Dvalue2 param3=3Dvalue3

Then inside the script, you can access these values with the @ARGV
array.  You will have to manually split them because they will have the
equal sign still.  The @ARGV array will look like this:

$ARGV[0] =3D  "param1=3Dvalue1"
$ARGV[1] =3D  "param2=3Dvalue2"
$ARGV[2] =3D  "param3=3Dvalue3"

With a loop lie this, you can get them into the Hash (%Params):

my (%Params,$ame,$value);
foreach (@ARGV) {
  ($name,$value) =3D split("=3D",$_);
  $Params{$name} =3D $value;
}

Now you will get the hash:

$Params{"param1"} =3D "value1";
$Params{"param2"} =3D "value2";
$Params{"param3"} =3D "value3";

The above will not handle array inputs, but you get the idea.

The below recommendation is to access the cgi script on another server
via the command line using http.
