Hi guys
actually i am beginning to learn and write perl scripts, and while writing one of my perl script with css, the following happned

My code:-

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use warnings;
use CGI;

$query = new CGI;
print $query->header;

print "<html>\n<head>\n<title>Testing css with perl v0.03</title>\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"testcss2.css\"></head>\n";
print "<body>\n";
print "<h2>TESTING css with perl</h2>\n";
print "</body>\n</html>";



testcss2.css


h2 { color:orange; font-style:italic }


Now the problem is that, when i run this script, the css effects are not shown to the text "TESTING css with perl"..and the text "TESTING css with perl", displayed is plain, without showing any css effects....


whereas i want the css effects to be displayed...
how shall i do this?

Can somebody please help me here!
Thanks!

Based on your code there, you'd have to put "testcss2.css" in the same directory as your script. testcss2.css will be loaded by the client browser, not by perl.

testcss2.css is already in the same directory as the script!

testcss2.css will be loaded by the client browser, not by perl.

First off, use heredocs so it's actually readable.



#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;
use warnings;

# No need to import CGI just to print a simple Content-Type.

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n\n";
print <<HTML;
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing CSS with Perl</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="testcss2.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Testing CSS with Perl~</h2>
</body>
</html>
HTML

__END__


And your CSS file should look like this:


h2 {
color: orange;
font-style: italic;
}

I'm thinking it has to do with your host.
Ask somebody on their support forum/help desk what's up with it.

I just renamed it to .plsource so you can see the code.

Do you have any other browser other than IE?
Use something like Firefox or wget to view/download it.

Just do a "View Source" on that page to get the code.

Something else to verify is that you can download testcss2.css in your browser. Hosts will sometimes not allow non-executable files to be served from a cgi-bin.

i am not able to download, testcss2.css, via the browser, and i am getting a 403 forbidden error.

What chmod shall i put on testcss2.css, so that it can be accesed by my original file testcss-wperl.pl ??

Try to chmod it to 0666.
If that doesn't work, you can always put the CSS file outside of the cgi-bin and just change the link to it.

changing it to 666 didnt help much
but then i transfered the css file to directory other than cgi-bin, and it worked....
Thanks greg and atlas, for the help!
