I don't think many people here know Perl.

Here use this script:

Code Select Expand

#!c:\apache\perl\bin\perl.exe

print "Location: http://www.discusobsession.com/DAAH/yabbse/index.php\n\n";
exit;
Be sure to change the shebang line to match yours.

I don't think many people here know Perl.

I am learning it right now... a bit weird going from php to perl... but I still want to learn perl.

[chad]

When i use this script.... i cut in paste it to notepad name it yabb.pl and upload it right?

when i do this i get a cgiwrap error?

As I said you need to change the shebang line... if you copy and paste it directly then it won't work. The shebang line is based on my pc's perl location not yours...

The shebang line on my sytem looks like this:

Code Select Expand

#!C:\apache\perl\bin\perl.exe
Your could be entirely different(especially if you use linux):

Code Select Expand

#!/apache/perl/bin/perl
A good way to find out what YOURS is, is to open up your YaBB.pl/cgi file and see what the first line of that files is. Just copy that first line and replace the first line of my code with it.

[chad]

yes mine is diferent...
this is it   #!/usr/bin/perl

now i run it with your code and i get a cgi wrap error??

so do i righ tthe code like this
#!/usr/bin/perl.exe
print "Location: http://www.discusobsession.com/DAAH/yabbse/index.php\n\n";
exit;

I still get cgi error??  damn this sucks i have been working on this for a week with no result... POWWEB my host claims to not be the problem.... and will not assist.. i would be willing to pat someone to figure it out for me!!!

so do i righ tthe code like this
#!/usr/bin/perl.exe
print "Location: http://www.discusobsession.com/DAAH/yabbse/index.php\n\n";

Nope, you write it like this:

Code Select Expand

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Location: http://www.discusobsession.com/DAAH/yabbse/index.php\n\n";
exit;
.exe is for the windows version of perl... so you don't need the .exe after the word perl like I do on my pc.

Copy and paste this code I just gave you and then it "should" work.

I wouldn't bother to learn perl, it's just as stupid as php, just a little better functionality wise, but the syntax sucks ass.

[Chris Cromer]

Well I like to be able to say that I know other languages besides just php, it is kind of a step down learning perl, but it is still quite fun.

But don't worry I am not leaving php, php has become my favorite langauge.

[Shindou Hikaru]

It's not a huge step down. They both suck, anyways. PHP just not as bad as perl.

[Chris Cromer]

So what language would you recommend then?

[Shindou Hikaru]

Well, a really totally cool language is Java (it just looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good ). Although I already have many complaints against some it it's horrible functional (or i might as well say static method) performance 'improvements'. It is a very good language.

.NET is also very cool and C# doesn't have those performance 'improvements'. But I am to lazy to download the compiler (Mono in my case). Also, i can not help you with .net since I have only heard of hit by word of mouth and have never programmed in it myself. If you want to know more about it, talk to Zef.
