Hey folks!

 

I was wondering if there is ANY way at all to make UniServer work with "#!/usr/bin/perl" instead of the whole path? Change something inside the software to know that #!/usr/bin/perl is equal to the whole path to perl that I would manually set?

 

I use UniServer to test scripts on my PC, but I then upload them to a server so it's pretty inconvenient having to change that every time...

 

Any and all ideas are greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you!

Uniform Server honours the shebang!

By this I men its not ignored for portable reasons.

However it does require a full path, which is changed automatically.

 

The following is a proposed solution that does not make entries to your PC’s registry

 

Download and extract a version of Uniform Server to a fixed folder.

Run the servers once to establish paths.

Download a Perl plugin (minimum or full) again run severs once.

 

On the same drive create a new folder at top level of disk named:

(C:/)usr/bin/perl

 

Now copy everything in folder UniServer/usr/bin

 

To (C:/)usr/bin/perl

 

Check that your scripts in folder xxx/UniServer\cgi-bin work

 

The above is a fixed development environment and not portable

 

It’s proposed because I have not had time to test it. :angry:

 

All the best

If the standard shebang "#!/usr/bin/perl" works on the remote server, then the "fixed development environment" recommended by "Ric" would be ok, since what you "upload" is "scripts" rather than the whole box ...
