Re: Author and Maintainer

Hi Ovid: I was reading through your module and its looks like it may help me with my problem. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at writing perl...here's my problem: I need to write translated values that are sent to browser to a text file. I have this test page: http://www.dog-crates.com/cgi-bin/write_test_softcart2.pl
here's the pl code:

#!/usr/bin/perl5 use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); my $upname10="selector10.txt"; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print"<header>"; print<<DDPENWE1; <title> crates test</title> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> SCPath = "/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe"; config = "scstore"; if (location.pathname.substring(0,SCPath.length)!= SCPath) { window.location.replace(SCPath + location.pathname + "?E+" + config); } </Script> </head> <body> DDPENWE1 my $description = "%%product(99901BB).micro_description%%"; open (File10, ">$upname10" || die "Error opening file $upname10"); print File10 "Below is the description of SKU 99901BB that has been properly interpreted by SoftCar +t:"; print "Below is the description of SKU 99901BB that has been properly interpreted by SoftCart:<br>< +br>"; print File10 "<b>%%product(99901BB).micro_description%%</b>"; print File10 $description; print $description; print "<b>%%product(99901BB).micro_description%%</b>"; close (File10); print"</body>"; print"</html>";

If you click on the link, you'll see that the page gets reparsed so softcart can interpret the tag - the page displays the following:

Below is the description of SKU 99901BB that has been properly interpreted by SoftCart:

The smallest of the lifestyle series, this 2 liter twin turbo really packs a wallop. Able to leap tall buildings with a single bound. Use this crate for small dogs, such as pekinese, Yorkies, and fendermen benz.The smallest of the lifestyle series, this 2 liter twin turbo really packs a wallop. Able to leap tall buildings with a single bound. Use this crate for small dogs, such as pekinese, Yorkies, and fendermen benz.

The text file that I write to however, selector2.txt, displays the following:

Below is the description of SKU 99901BB that has been properly interpreted by SoftCart:%%product(99901BB).micro_description%%%%product(99901BB).micro_description%%

How can I write the "interpreted" version to the selector2.txt file.

Will the HTML::TokParser module help me achieve this??

your help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
