Hi Does anyone on the list Distro OpenSuSE, Apache2 and use cgi and not perl cgi. Know a good mailing list to create cgi script without perl. I have a task to pull data from our iptables file into a editable html thus able to make modifications and click on a button to restart iptables. I have got a dirty hack that restarts the iptables But my boss would like a editable html form. PS I have been looking at open function But having no joy. # now write (append) to the file open(INF,"firewall"); # opens firewall file for reading located in the cgi-bin dir. Any suggestions or url's to anything similiar would be of great help. Ta -- Chuck Amadi ROK Corporation Limited Ty ROK, Dyffryn Business Park, Llantwit Major Road, Llandow, Vale Of Glamorgan.
