[Xitami] cgi.

[WhiteShepherd]

If it is downloading you may have your cgi your "webpages" directory which is incorrect.  
Under the Xitami directory make a folder called "cgi-bin" and put your cgi files/s there.  
Then install Active Perl.  When you call your cgi from a web browser it should look like 
this:  http://yourdomainname-or-yourip-address/cgi-bin/your.cgi  Follow those steps and 
it should work.  If you want to make certain you can go into your Xitami Admin setup and 
make shure CGI is enabled (I think regular non SSI is enabled).  

As far as other users laughing at you.  I have never never seen anyone be rude here.  
Though sometimes it can be hard to get a responce.
