I'm writing a simple cgi script that takes the user name from the url and
outputs it in the html.
For example the url:
blar...blar/cgi-bin/sis_home.cgi?un=mustoj
Here is my script which works fine:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
# script name: sis_home.cgi
use CGI qw(:standard);
my $q = new CGI;
my $username = $q->param("un");
#print the html
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<__HTML__;
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
Simple Program
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
User Name = $username
</BODY>
</HTML>
__HTML__
This works fine and i get the output:
User Name = mustoj
in the browser, but as soon as i add a file handle to obtian the userid from
the username it stops working, nothing is displayed.
open (FH,"hl_of_users.txt") || &CgiDie("Can't open user file!");
I will be pereforming various actions on this file handle but at the moment
i can't do anything because as soon as i add this line i get a blank page
returned.
Has anyone come across this problem before? Any help would be much
appreciated, thanks in advance.

Jonathan Musto
