[Xitami] problem running .pl script

[xitami@lists.xitami.org]

ok, I'll into that again.  
Problem is that the .exe I have, installed the .htlm and .pl files, I think
correctly.  I'm not sure to start changing fileneames: the index is
index.html and it calls welcome.pl which on its turn calls again lots of
other perl scripts.  Slhould I create a new cgi-bin directory on my alias
and move all .pl files to that directory.  I feel unco,fortable with that. 
Any comments are welcome, nico

Yes...

27: How do I use a CGI program as a default page?
    Add the index.cgi file to the list of default pages.
    Make sure that index.cgi is 'executable'.
    Define the server:cgi-url as "/".
    Define the server:cgi-bin directory to be same as server:webpages.
    Define cgi:mixed-url to be 1.
    Define cgi:dirlist to be 1 if you want directory listings to be enabled.
