It contains brief descriptions of the +examples in this directory. You are welcome to send me additional +scripts. + +-------------------- +Instructions on running scripts +-------------------- + +The "examples.cgi" script provides a page of clickable links to all +the other example scripts. "frame.cgi" is a framed version - it's not +particularly good looking but it does work and - anyway - I needed a +frame example! + +There are three ways of running these scripts: + +1) Point your browser at http://expect.nist.gov/cgi.tcl + +2) Run them by hand, such as by typing "tclsh scriptname" at the +command line. This is appropriate if you just want to study the raw +HTML output or see how fast they run. + +3) Install them in your own web and run them through your browser. +(If you're on a UNIX host, the "make examples" target in the Makefile +fixes up the #! line of each examples and installs them in a public +demo directory.) You'll want to edit the example.tcl file to redefine +cgi_root appropriately. + +If you run the examples locally (options 2 and 3): + + - In order to get the submit buttons to take you back to your + site (instead of on to my site!), check the cgi_root call in + example.tcl to point back to your site. + + - Some of these examples may do things that are not portable + and therefore may not run on all systems. For example, some + of them call "exec". The "unimail" script assumes the + existence of sendmail through cgi.tcl's built-in mail + support. See the ../install.win file for more info. + +-------------------- +Source files in this directory +-------------------- + + cookie.cgi - demonstrates cookies + + display.cgi - display a CGI script + + error.cgi - demonstrates error handing + + examples.cgi - Provides a page with clickable links to all + these examples. + + form-tour.cgi - demonstrates most form elements (Note that these + don't do anything - they're just for looks.) + + format-tour.cgi - demonstrates many formats, unrelated to forms + + frame.cgi - a friend's home page that demonstrates frames + + kill.cgi - kill runaway CGI processes + + parray.cgi - displays an array (or the environment by default) + + passwd-form.cgi - creates a form for changing a password + passwd.cgi - backend to passwd-form where password is actually changed + Note that this script is an Expect script. + passwd.tcl - common definitions for passwd*.cgi scripts + + upload.cgi - file upload + + vclock.pl - Lincoln Stein's virtual clock from CGI.pm paper + vclock.cgi - Lincoln Stein's virtual clock (but in Tcl) + + visitor.cgi - implements a visitor counter + visitor.cnt - file containing the count + + example.tcl - common definitions for most of the examples |
