Hey,

I am messing around with some perl and wrote a very simple script to take the contents of a textbox and print it in a document. Ive done it before so was ecpecting no problems but i keep getting a strange error. It says that the method post is not alowd or something like that. I tried using Get but that didnt work either

I have a html page and the actual .pl script with the action in the html page form being the address of the script.

Can anyone tell me why i ma getting this error and how to stop it?

cheers

This is spooky

This error usually occures when some configuration problem in MIME occurs.

Things to do:

* Check the configuration of server if you are using personal web server.
* Check URLs
* Check directory rights.
* Does you server support .pl or plain .cgi?

Apart from this I think the script should be needed to debug.

Dunno much about these. But try it

Just a quick suggestion, make sure that
(1) you have defined a form with a method and an action attribute defined in the form tag.

(2) you have closed off the form ()

(3) That the url in the action tag is valid.

Hi, I go it working. My code was messed up - I must have been half asleep when I wrote it. The problems were with the url not being correct and for some reaon I had to method="" tags in the form which obvioulsy confused it:0

Thanks for your help:)
