in reply to Re^3: Running a CGI script from a command line?
in thread Running a CGI script from a command line?

I am doing some sort of redirect, in that the HTML output of the original PERL file is properly captured into a file that I can then load in a browser.

I think I am skipping over some extremely low level of ignorance here. The answer is doubtless "intuitively obvious to the most casual observer", but I am evidently too tense?

    So have you considered installing a webserver to run your "cgi" ?

      Yes, but the option of running unofficial servers is no longer permitted here. Official servers require extensive approvals. Mostly bean counters, but also security people.

      In today's session I continued the experiments from last night on the other machine. Then I read and meditated over the RFC for a while. I also started poking about in the ancient code, both my own and some of the inherited fragments. My results seem to be going backwards.

        Hmm, and then what happened?
