CGI Questions

[carrie99]

Hello, all.

 

 

I have found a cool CGI script online (freebie.) at http://scripts.cgi101.com/

 

I am looking at: generiform.cgi

 

I understand the "Optional Fields" part.

 

I do not understand all of the "Configure" part:

 

# use the usual modules

use strict;

use CGI;

use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);

my($cgi) = CGI->new;

 

# CONFIGURE: change this to the proper location of sendmail on your system:[/b]

my($mailprog) = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

 

# Set the path, so taint mode won't complain. This should be the path

# that sendmail lives in! (If you're using /usr/lib/sendmail, then

# the path had better be /usr/lib here.)

$ENV{PATH} = "/usr/sbin";

 

# list of domains authorized to call this script: you really SHOULD set this

# to avert inappropriate use or spam.

my(@allowed_domains) =(".cgi101.com");

 

&chkdomain;

 

# do some error-checking.

my(%reqs) = ("send_to","the e-mail address to send the form data to (typically this is done via a hidden field in the form)");

 

Anyone who can send me to the correct information - or hold myhand through this!! Appreciate it!! I'm pretty resourcefull - links would be fine

Most of the information you are looking for is on the cPanel front page of your web site.

 

Also, go to http://tch.kwsupport.com/tools.htm and download the env.zip file. It contains a free script (env.pl) that you simply upload to your web site and when you run it , it will give your more info that you probably will ever need!

 

In fact, I have a link there so you can go ahead and run the copy on my web site!

 

HTH,
