[Xitami] CGI arguments passing (newbee question)

[E. Egberts]

Thanks for your reactiom.

As far as I know, the values of the command line get in Perl assigned to an
array called @ARGV. It is a library function as far as I understand. I am a
newbee to Perl so I may be missing something.

No.

However it should be relatively trivial to parse either <STDIN> or
$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} to create a suitable array. The problem is that the
output of a program that uses a CLI fo its arguments is unlikely to
suitable for display on a webserver as it won't generate HTML. What you
probably need to do is create a wrapper progrm (using for example the
CGI.pm library) that you can then wrap around all these scripts.
