CGI Scripts Available on Eskimo North
 

Here's a quick rundown of the scripts, utilities and programs installed on Eskimo North:

AnyURL
A CGI form processing program which provides a way to use forms input to point to URLs without doing any programming. Look here for more information.

* cgi-lib.pl
A Perl library to manipulate CGI input. Look here for its documentation.

* CGI.pm
This Perl library uses perl5 objects to simplify the creation and parsing of fill-out HTML forms. The CGI.pm library can also be found in /usr/local/lib/perl5/ on Eskimo. Look here for its documentation.

Count.cgi
A very powerful and fully customizable CGI counter. Look here for more information.

Please limit yourself to one data file per account. All data files must be of the form: your_login.dat. For example, if your login name is JoeUser, the counter data file will have to be defined as follows:

<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=JoeUser.dat">

Data files which do not comply with this format will be automatically deleted. (Note: data files cannot be edited directly on Eskimo.)
