cgi based web page counter
- What is ctr.plt?
- The ctr.pl perl script is a counter for web pages. The ctr.pl
perl script is a self
- contained it handles initialization, checking, reseting, and displaying.
Where do I get ctr.pl?
- It is available at: ftp://ftp.eng.auburn.edu/pub/rayh/counter/ctr.pl
What is required to use ctr.pl?
- You need the following:
What do you mean by initialization?
- In order for the perl script to be able to count there first has to
be an entry in the
- DBM file. The initialization allows us to do two things. One is to
verify the page to
- count and the second is to setup access for reseting and checking the
page count.
- The initialization process could also be used to disable remote initialization
of the counter.
- This way if a user is not at your sight they can not use the counter
to count their pages.
What does the checking and reseting option for?
- Well to add functions to the script and also lower the burden of having
to reset
- counters I made it possible to reset/check your page count. The reason
for adding
- the check is some uses want to count access but do not want to show
the count, so this
- provides them a way of counting. Reset will reset the counter back
to 0.
