Re: Linux Perl Script Problem

Scott,

Thanks you for your advice.  My path PATH looks good -- it 
includes /usr/bin so I can indeed run Perl by simply typing
"perl" in 
any working directory.  I just cannot get Linux to run the
perl file as 
a script when it is in the cgi-bin directoy.  It seems to
run properly 
as a script when placed in any other directory.  Weird!

There must be some Linux or Apache or Perl configuration
setting 
somewhere that I don't about.

At this point, I think I'll simply put my perl scripts
outside the cgi-
bin directory and move on.

Eric

I would be looking at the Apache configuration files. I had
a problem running PHP and Postgresql and it had to do with
the Apache configs. I haven't used Perl cgi yet on Apache. I
will look for you also on my system and see if I can find it
for you. I am currently looking for for work so I have time
on my hands..
Take care. let you know as soon as I can..

I found a website that might help you out.  

http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/addcgitoapache.sht
ml

I scanned through this site and it looks like it gives the
user a step by step
howto for adding cgi/perl support to Apache. I would suggest
this is a good place to start. Let me know if you need help.
I have Apache running on Fedora Core 5....in a 6 pc network
here at home including wireless pcs..So i can help let me
know.

Regards,
Scott
