in reply to Perl Setup on Mandrake 9.1

Have you seen the perl examples like: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/test.cgi?

Later, checking the scripts at /var/www/cgi-bin and other folders, you should figure out what works and what doesn't.

I am also having trouble with MDK 9.2 and Apache 2 + perl. But I yet, don't have much time to get it all fixed and working right...

Check owners and groups also.

    Thanx for the tips. I actually found that the test.cgi had the #!/bin/sh entry along with the echo calls instead of prints to display the current system variables. I haven't tried the owners/groups though, I'll definitely try that as well as keep looking for any examples or config items I might have overlooked.

    UPDATED: I just got home from work, fired up the box and tried the file again and it worked... I can only assume rebooting did something because the first thing I did was try the file and it worked fine. I've had problems like this in the past with several programs on different OS's using this box... but irregardless it's all good now.

    If you're ever lost and need directions, ask the guy on the motorcycle.
