[San-Diego-pm] HTML to Perl

Mon Jan 16 21:09:34 PST 2006

better late than never..

heres some html code which will run without a server..just save it to a file 
and open it up in Internet Explorer.
when you click the button on the form, it will run a dos command, on the 
local machine.

Its a simple way to create a cheap interface to dos commands, for non techy 
end users.

requires activestate perl win32. with PerlScript.

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="PerlScript">

sub yourSystem($)
{
    my $command = shift;
   system($command);
}

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY>

<form name="blah">

<INPUT type="button" VALUE="some description" ONCLICK=yourSystem('dir')>

</form>

</BODY>
</HTML>
