Perl CGI Scripts by Ziga Turk 

Here are some Perl scripts I wrote and found usefull:

1. mailit sends email based on a WWW form.
2. htLoad displays current load of the httpd server.
3. Woda is a cgi-driven database system for the Web.
4. ExecHTM lets you define programs which will generate parts of HTML file.
5. p4 (PowerPoint Post Processor) - I was not satisfied with the way PowerPoint saves as HTML. This post processor makes much nicer and more usefull pages.
6. xref automatically creates cross references in papers, manuals etc. which were translated to HTML with RTFtoHTML tool.

 

Some of the above scripts (p4,xref) are usually executed on your PC. Therefore you must install Perl interpreter on your PC. The one I use, is easy to install and works on DOS, Win3.1, WIN95 and WinNT is available for download here.

 

1. mailit

MailIt allows mail to be sent from an HTML form. On the URL, the caller can supply parameters which fix the contents of some of the fields. We use it to ease the mailing list subscription.

Full source code of the currently running version is available.

2. htLoad

HtLoad lets you monitor the current load of your Web server. If your browser supports Netscape's 'Client pull' extention, the page will be automatically updated every 10 seconds.

Full source code of the currently running version is available.

3. ExecHTM

This is a small utility which lets you define programs which will generate parts of HTML programs. For example, to include a calendar into index.htm file, you would write:

This year's calendar:
<PRE>
<EXEC cal 1997>
</EXEC>
</PRE>

If you would then run:

exechtm.pl index.htm

the new version of index.htm would include a calendar between the two <EXEC> tags.
