You might want to send this in plain/text next time. It's easier to cut and
paste.

achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would
be: "meetings." -- Dave Berry

Subject: RE: Internal HTTP ERROR.
aromes I believe you are going about this the wrong way. Here is what I
believe you should be doing 1. Make sure apache is configured properly for
cgi scripts 2. Then, and only then try get "fancier" scripts working 3.
Learn some perl Ok, so please accomplish number 1 first. Here is a
****SIMPLE**** cgi script that relies on nothing else, and takes no
arguments. It can simply be called from lynx (no html needed ) with
http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.pl please do the following 1. copy and paste
the following as is in a file called hello.pl in your cgi bin dir 2. make it
executable chmod +x hello.pl 3. test from the command line ./hello.pl you
should see an html page generated, with NO ERROR messages 4. now try with
lynx http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.pl you should get a simple page with a
title, heading and environment variable values printed out. 5. report back
to us. :)
---- start hello.pl --- CUT HERE ------
#!/usr/bin/perl
print <<"endhead";
Content-type: text/html
Hello World
endhead
foreach $env (keys %ENV) {
print sprintf("%-20s = %s\n", $env, $ENV{$env});
}
print <
endtail
---- end hello.pl --- CUT HERE ------
