Stat 540.
Homework 1
1.
Make a skeleton homepage written in HTML. You can use my
skeleton file as a template. (see gosset:~foster/public_html/.) It
should be named index.html and reside in your
public_html directory. It doesn't have to contain any links
yet, but it should at least have a line describing who you are and
what you do. You will add to this page over the course of the
semester. See here
for an introduction to HTML.
2.
Create the hello_world form and CGI perl script. Create a
Stat540 subdirectory under the public_html directory.
Place the HTML form file in the Stat540 directory. Call it
homework01.html. Place the perl script in the Stat540
directory. Call it hello_world.pl. Make sure that the perl script
is executable by the server. This is done by typing
chmod a+x hello_world.pl
I should be able to run your perl script. Your grade depends on it.
3.
Read Chapter 1 of Programming Perl (even if it doesn't all make sense).
