Web browser - hakakou/optiperl GitHub Wiki

The Web Browser in OptiPerl is the window that you can view all the output of perl scripts and html documents.

In conjunction with the Browser toolbar, it is a basic web browser. However it has an important feature just for debugging:

At any time, all html output can be viewed either as a web document, either as text. Also there is a "send" line, for sending input to when running or debugging console scripts.

When running a script in the browser, there is a major difference on how the script is run, depending if "Run with Server" is selected:

• If "Run with Server" is disabled, then the script is run directly and all it's output is piped to the browser.
• If "Run with Server" is enabled, then the script is launched by sending a target URL to the browser, for example

http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/test.cgi

Also from the Web Browser window, under the "Auto-View" tab, you can view at real-time the changes that happen to a file you select.

OptiPerl has the only internet browser with a find dialog that supports regular expressions.
