running perl script

dav_y2k · 04-22-2005, 11:13 AM

Hi,
I am a newbie in perl script programming and I designed a page (using NVU) with a form where u enter a URL and a Description and the results are displayed with the date and times when each input is being entered, my problems are:

1) how do I remove the hypertext transport protocol : // from being entered into the URL text box using regexp

2) when I click on the submit button it displays the result url, description, date, and time. how do I display the result in my index.html page (or any page that I designed)

thanks

ad 1) for example:

Code:

$url="http://www.linuxquestions.org";
$url=~m#http://(.*)#;
$newUrl=$1;
