I have installed Ciao-Prolog and the PiLLoW libraries on a PC running
Windows 95. I'd like to use the PiLLoW library to create forms and
dynamic web pages. But I've been unable so far to determine how to
configure the system to do so. Does anyone know how to configure Windows
PWS (Personal Web Server) to run PiLLoW pages?
I know that for example, to execute Perl CGI programs, it is necessary
to add a Windows registry entry of
Key Value
==== ==============
".pl" Perl.exe %s %s
AFAIK the first %s corresponds to a perl file to be executed (e.g.,
myprog.pl) while the second corresponds to the passed incoming POST or
GET information. In response, Perl.exe outputs (CGI output) data to the
default output file handle, which is routed back to the web server and
then to the browser. Perhaps with the proper settings a similar effect
can be achieved with ciaoengine.exe or another of the ciao programs?
One side effect of DOS commandline execution of a Pillow executable is
creation of a file with the same name as the executable, but with the
file extension of ".html". E.g., executing
ciaoengine -C -b html_demo.cpx
from the DOS commandline creates a file named "html_demo.html". In this
respect, ciaoengine's behavior differs from that of perl.exe, which
outputs the data to the DOS standard output file handle.
