RE: tlug: apache and cgi-scripts

An easy way to test whether cgi is working is a simple script
like this:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Help!</TITLE></HEAD>";
print "<BODY BGCOLOR=white>";
print "This is my first time!\n";
print "<P>";
print "<B>Please, be gentle...</B>\n";
print "</BODY></HTML>";
exit;

Make sure that the #! line points to where perl is on your
system. If this doesn't work then check the srm.conf for

# To use CGI scripts:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

Once the simple script is working then you can go on to
debugging your more complicated scripts.
