Common Gateway Interface (CGI)

To illustrate the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) invocation of the BatchKi numerical engine, the following edited fragment shows a part of the Perl source code extracted from file [Apache]/cgi-bin/batchki/generic/user.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl

package bki;
use strict;
...
# 1. Set the global variable ${bki::user} to the current user ID
# 2. Create the XML data file "./input/${bki::user}data.xml"
#    from elements of an HTML form
...
#------------------------------------------------------------------
sub run_program
{
   my ($file, $command, $status);

   $file = "./input/${bki::user}data.xml";
   $command   = "../batchki.exe $file web . $bki::user ../../../htdocs/output";
   $status = system ($command);
   return $status;
}

The above code fragment assumes the default layout of directories in the Apache HTTP server.
