Thanks for the suggestions. I am simply trying to compile (is that possible with Perl?) foo.pl in CentOS. I tried: perlcc foo.pl and it fails. I am not using a web browser. I only need to do this in Linux environment. -
All right let's do this :) I know there would be a lot to learn and I have already done some reading on wikipedia. I know a bit of C so this shouldn't be too hard.
I am trying this and I get errors:
Code:#!/usr/bin/perl print "Hello, world!\n";
This is running in CentOS environment and Perl 5.8.X is installed.
ThanksLeave a comment:

"weather" is an excessive word in that sentence. Please ignore it and sorry for the confusion.Leave a comment:

How to harness information of the web
Hello Everyone,
I am not sure if I posting this to the right forum or not. So, I apologize before hand if this is not the forum for posting this question.
I want a script that would run weather in Windows or Linux that will gather the information of a website and save it in a file (maybe to a .xls file). I want to use a program because I want to search more than 1000s of pages. However, the good thing is that each page... -

How do you harness information off the web?

:) I like your analogy on this. I am not going to use the one way hash. I am thinking for using the "system" command in Linux and /dev to actually register a computer via internet. I think this is the only option that I have. I should also manually include a serial number to every copy of the software. Again, this is not a highly sensitive money making program but the nature of the program is so that people tend to install on several computers...Leave a comment:

That's an amazing idea. It cuts down on the internet need but on the same token I would not know how much of the software is being pirated since there is no inquiry to my server. I guess I can accept that for the customer's interest. However, I am still looking for the commands for CPU ID and HDD ID. Thanks for the great input again.Leave a comment:

Thanks for all the contributions. I checked the link and I think they only support Windows Environment. I am using CentOS for the program. In addition I can dedicate a server for this purpose myself. I am wondering if anyone can post snippets of code on how to harness CPU ID and HDD serial number and also to post it to a web page.
ThanksLeave a comment:

Thanks for the great comments. I really don't care if someone goes to the extend to sniff the packets or reverse engineer the program to install the program on more than one computer since the program goes for less than $10 per license. In addition it changes every few months. Older versions render useless. What would be the specific commands to record CPU ID and HDD serial number in C? Also, what commands can I use to post the info to a web page...Leave a comment:

Thanks for the great input. Well, the actual code in C but I was wondering if PHP could be of any help. Now, security is not super important. The software sales for less than $10 a piece. I can't care much if someone goes to the extend to find out how the mechanism of serial number works. I was wondering if PHP is the language to go with if I want to harness the CPU ID and/or HDD serial number and post it to some web page for retrieval later on....Leave a comment:

Thanks for the reply. Well, what is a better system in your view? Also, I was thinking of something simple like generating a number with combination of CPU ID and HDD serial number and then posting it to some webpage. On the next install the system will fetch the data and check it against the hardware. What programming language would better answer my needs if not C? I am deploying the porgrame in CentOS 5.

Serial Number and Registration
Hello Everyone,
I have a little program which I want to put some limitations on. I never thought having a serial number could be so hard or preventing people from installing on more than one system can be such a daunting task. Anyhow, basically my program will have full access to internet and can contact a server to verify the serial number. I am just not sure what the standard procedures are for assigning serial numbers, registering... -
