Does not work.
If I have a perl script on my pc, running under inetd that looks like:
#! /usr/bin/perl
system ("touch /home/me/it_worked-$ARGV[0]");
And I just execute the script like this:
./perl_script.pl 1234567
I get a file called "it_worked-1234567"
When I attempt to do this from my ISP with the following command:
nc myhomepc <port> < param
(where the file "param" has the data "1234567")
I get a file just called "it_worked-".
What am I missing?
