it might be a good place to start if your goal is call Perl procedures from Frontier.I guess using CGIs to talk to Perl and get the result back to Frontier is easily doable.
For example I tested this yesterday and it worked like a charm (but its not very useful and can be dangerous also). Its a Perl script that will do a little bit what is doing fileloop. You have to put it somewhere in in your public_html directory.
The Perl script goes like this:
#!/local/bin/perl5 -w$dir = "$ENV\{'QUERY_STRING'}";
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\n";
opendir(DIR, "$dir") or die "Erreur : $!"; while (defined ($f = readdir(DIR)) ) { if (-f "$dir$f") { print "$f\n"; } } closedir(DIR);
Then you can call this script from Frontier like this:
local(url = "http://www.nowhere.org/cgi-bin/perlScript?/home/me/public_html/images/"); tcpcmd.getUrl(url, saveas: @temp.unixDir)Perl will return a string with the files in the directorie "/images/".
So provided somebody have some time to do this, it could be possible to write a suite that can glue some part of Perl to Frontier.
Cheers
