The path to perl is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
This path needs to be on the very first line of all
your perl programs.
Where to upload perl scripts:
All perl programs need to be uploaded to your "cgi-bin"
directory.
Perl programs will not work outside this directory.
For example, if you have a perl program called:
test.cgi
and uploaded it to your "cgi-bin" directory, then
you can call it on the internet using:
http://your-own-site-name.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi
What permissions should I set my script as?
Scripts should be able to run using 700. If
it will not run as 700, then you may need to use
755.
What is the path to the SendMail Program?
/usr/sbin/sendmail
My script shows "internal server error," how do I
tell what is going on?
We do not have error logs available, but
this should not prevent you from printing out the
error message.
To see what is causing the error, add the
following line of code to your .cgi script.
You can add this to your second line.
use CGI::Carp "fatalsToBrowser";
What this does is to
print all error messages to your browser. It shows
the exact same thing as what
would normally show in a server error log. It is
terrific for troubleshooting.
If you get the "internal server error," check your
script permissions first to make sure it has
the proper permissions and has the executable bit
set.
What is the absolute path to: (Use the
following format, but do not take it literally!)
cgi-bin directory: /services/webpages/FirstCharacterOfDomain/SecondCharacterOfDomain/your-domain.com/cgi-bin/
public directory:
/services/webpages/FirstCharacterOfDomain/SecondCharacterOfDomain/your-domain.com/public/
private directory:
/services/webpages/FirstCharacterOfDomain/SecondCharacterOfDomain/your-domain.com/private/
access_log:
/services/webpages/FirstCharacterOfDomain/SecondCharacterOfDomain/your-domain.com/logs/access_log
Just as an example using domain name:
HostSite.com
The absolute path to the cgi-bin directory for this
case would be:
/services/webpages/h/o/hostsite.com/cgi-bin/
Follow the example format for hostsite.com to derive
the absolute paths for your own hosting domain name.
