Sample CGI form


This page illustrates the use of CGI scripts with vqServer. When the send button on the form is clicked the PERL CGI script vq/demos/Respond.pl is invoked and generates a page which includes the data you entered on the form.

Before using the form you must:

  • Install a PERL interpreter on your computer.
  • If you're using Windows, use the vqServer control centre to check that the interpreter for the pl file type is set to the location and file name of your PERL interpreter.
  • If you're using a UNIX-like operating system, edit the script so that the first line reflects the name and location of your PERL interpreter.

The form uses the HTTP POST method but the script also works with the GET method.
