You've got Perl but no Web server access? No problem! Consider this simple example script fragment: my $q=new CGI; open (MYFILE, ">index.html"); print MYFILE $q->start_html(); print MYFILE "<h1>My Page</h1><p>Hello, World</p>"; print MYFILE $q->end_html(); close MYFILE; Rather than sending our code to standard output - normally directed to your Web server, you simply put the output into a file instead. NOTE - Don't use the CGI.pm header() when doing it like this, otherwise you'll be putting things in your file best left to the Web server. If you use validation tools, this technique can also be handy for checking code that normally lurks in password-protected areas of a site where validators fear to tread. (The alternative is to navigate to the page in a browser, then save the page source, but that's getting away from the original point.)
