Thanks for your response

If i create a perl script just to print somethin to the text file that works
if I call that from Flash but it is when I try to send variables to it from
flash and have the perl script write these to the external file it doesn't
work. Is there a possibility the permissions are such that this would
happen?

Thanks

Paul Steven

I got a 403 Error. If that's the error you're getting, its probably a
permissions problem. If you created the scripts directory, the directory
probably doesn't have scripting permissions. Your ISP probably has a
directory where you should place your scripts. If you are using the
directory that the ISP specified, then you should call them and find out why
you are getting a 403 error when you access that directory. You can try to
upload a regular HTML page to the directory to see if you can view it. If
you can, the directory permissions are most likely set to only allow read
access from the Internet user. This is pretty much just a guess, but I hope
it helps.

Hi all

I am having major problems sending a highscore to a text file located on my
ISP's server using a simple perl script.
As an experiment I have just created a form to send the data to the perl
script and I am getting the following msg

see: http://www.clubinlondon.co.uk/Form.html

This is the html of the form:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/scripts/test.pl">

<PRE>
First Name <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="fname" MAXLENGTH=15 SIZE=15>

Last Name <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="lname" MAXLENGTH=20 SIZE=20>

E-Mail Addr <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email" MAXLENGTH=35 SIZE=35>

<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send Mail!">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear Form">

</PRE>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

And my perl script is

#!/win32app/perl/bin


# Get the input

read(STDIN, $temp, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});

# Split the name-value pairs

@pairs = split(/&/, $temp);

foreach $item (@pairs){

($key,$content)=split(/=/,$item,2);
$content=~tr/+/ /;
$content=~s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
$fields{$key}=$content;

}

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

print "<HTML>\n";
print "<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>\n";
print "<CENTER>\n";
print "THANK YOU<BR>\n";
print "$fields{fname} $fields{lname}</BR>";
print "I will write<BR>\n";
print "you at<BR>\n";
print "$fields{email}<BR>\n";
print "</CENTER>\n";
print "</BODY></HTML>";

Please can anyone shed some light on why I am getting this error

Thanks

Paul Steven
