Sure, nothing's intrinsically tied to Perl at all. Look at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/overview.html for the CGI specification, including a listing of the environment variables that could be set. > I tried a simple c program(although it not compile write) > to parse the name and value it inherate from visitor hit the submit form > > ------------------------------------------------ > > #include <stdio.h> > > int main() > { > extern char name[][]; > extern char value[][]; > > > printf("Content-type: text/html\n\n"); > printf("<html><body>\n"); > printf("the price fo ", name[1], " equal ", value[1], "\n"); > printf("</body></html>"); > } > > -------------------------------------------------------------- Well, sure, where do you expect name and value to actually be defined? (I don't think 'extern' is allowed to modify local variables in any case.) You also might look for C CGI libraries if this would make you happy; there seems to be a libcgicg1-dev package in unstable, which appears to provide the right functionality. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
