cgi/perl

[dee19802000]

hey there,

I was wondering if anyone knew any good tutorials on using cgi/perl with flash. I want to create a guestbook and a highscore board for a site i am developing at the minute. Any suggestions welcome. Cheers.

I've been using AMFPHP for over .. ehmm, three weeks now :P and it works great. Somewhere along my research for a good thing I read that there's a port to AMF for Perl also, haven't tested it yet though.

In case you're wondring: AMF stands for Actionscript Messaging Format and is a Flash MX native way to communicate with a web service. Works natively with ColdFusion, J2EE and one other but a coupla of fanatics have ported it to other web services now. It enables you to send whole ActionScript and (for your case) Perl objects back and forth. It's really cool.

(or just use the old sendAndLoad, loadvars, ... functions, but I won't recommend them)
