londonfog Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Hi, I am trying to install a cgi/script for the first time. The script I bought (PitBullPro) has no sample login page, so I have a few questions (My apologies if they are pretty basic) In CGI/Perl speak what is the referrer ? Is it the URL I go to if the form is successful or is it the URL I come from ? Second how can I tell where the script sends me after successful action (i.e. after a successful log- on ?) Unless as I suspect I have to go to the referrer. Thanks for your help Silvano Quote
borfast Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 The referrer is not a term used exclusively when talking about Perl. It's a general web term used to refer to the "webpage you came from", as in "the webpage that referred you to the one you're visiting now". As for how can you tell where the script should send you, if it's not working I guess you'll have to take a look at the source code. Quote
