Perl Script Adjustment: Zero Results Handling
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have a Perl script that searches a CVS file and generates HTML. When this script has zero results, it currently displays a page stating "SORRY there are no RESULTS". I need this behaviour to change: instead of generating a custom error message, I want the script to send a 404 call to the Apache server.
Key Requirements:
- Modify the Perl script to send a 404 call to the server when no results are found.
- Implement a custom error message to be displayed on the 404 error page.
Additional Details:
- No logging of details of 404 errors is required for monitoring or debugging purposes.
- The script should still function as normal when results are found, only altering its behaviour when no matches are found.
- The ideal candidate for this project should have experience with Perl, CVS files, HTML generation and Apache server interactions. A good understanding of HTTP status codes, particularly 404, is necessary.
