RE: CGI, RPG

[Eduard Sluis <eduard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've seen Perl on the 400, although I thought with some restrictions (perhaps 
in that time).
But why investigate such interpreter stuff when you only have to update 
physical files on the 400??
Even in C that is not difficult (to learn). And if you can execute a C program 
as CGI you can also just execute an RPG program.
I'm sure you will run in less problems trying to update the physical with C or 
RPG compared with trying to get Perl working on the 400.
 
Have fun,
Eduard.

I would like to update some physical files from a web interface, and that is 
something that I have not done with C, at least not from the 400 side...perl 
would have been my choice but unfortunately I have not been able to find any 
info on whether that is even possible for the 400.
