CGI (the module) scripts can be run be from the prompt. See the "DEBUGGING" section.

Or you could add statements that print the script's progress to a log. Don't forget to (auto-)flush.

    OK, just read the debugging section of CGI.pm - very cool. Thanks. That gets the parameters set.

    But the script uses the .htaccess username to identify the records to retrieve and gets it like this: 

    $username = $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'};

    and I dont see in the documentation how to get that from the command line.


    UPDATE: But nevermind - I'll just set the username programmatically temporarily.

      One way in bash: 

      REMOTE_USER=ikegami example.cgi ...
