Consider using the "Not Matt's Script" versions (http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/news.html http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/news.html), but even that was last updated 2004. MSA was notorious for very bad examples of old-style perl, and there are much better ways of doing perl nowadays.
For a much more modern approach, use Plack/PSGI, and one of the many frameworks built using it.
- davorg 11y agoThe really galling thing is that Matt's scripts will continue to work find in this post-CGI world. The nms versions were written to the best practices of 2000 and therefore need CGI.pm.
- justinator 11y agoActually Matt's stuff DOESN'T use CGI.pm (at least what I'm familiar with). That was the thing - even when CGI.pm was the Better Practice, Matt didn't use it. No one should use Matt's stuff, unless you want huge security exploits.
- davorg 11y ago> Actually Matt's stuff DOESN'T use CGI.pm Yes. That's the point I was making.
