Assignment Help Programming Languages

Reference no: EM131203806

This assignment introduces you to the Perl language and CGI programming. You will use your scripting and html skills to build a Perl program that will gather user input to then generate a personal webpage. This program will demonstrate a typical dynamic Web site which is able to respond to user requests and record user actions.

Program Operation

1. Modify index.html to your home page. Create three links assignment 1 and assignment 2 on the home page. Let assignment 1 link to your /public_html/cgi-bin/assn1/auth.pl

2. When the user clicks on assignment 1 link, auth.pl will show an html form with two text fields:

Username:

Password:

3. Have the form submit auth.pl itself (action attribute calls auth.pl). The program will validate the two fields. If the username is "username" and the password is "password", then the login is successful. For the successful login, the program will display a welcome page, otherwise the program will display the same auth.pl login form with an error message "Login error. Please log in again." at the top.

4. The welcome page will display as below.

Please complete the form below to view your user profile:

Username:

First name:

Last name:

Birth date:

Country:

Street Add: City:

State / Prov:

ZIP / Postal

Home:

Mobile:

Email: (MM/DD/YYYY)
