[Xitami] Xitami, ActivePerl CGI Scripts Not Working

[Patricko]

This is what is showing in the Xitmai archives

<html>
<head>
 <title>Animal</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action=3D"animal.cgi" METHOD=3DPOST>
Which animal? <INPUT type=3D"text" name=3D"animal">
<P><INPUT type=3D"submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<form action=3D"animal.cgi" METHOD=3DPOST>
changed this line to
<form action="/cgi-bin/animal.cgi" METHOD=POST>
and it worked
Although I see you posted in HTML not good here on the list :)
