[Xitami] Re: ActivePerl & Xitami - CGI problems Continued

[Peter van der Goes]

AFAIK, the cgi-bin has to be created by you (I had to, every time I've
installed Xitami). Put it directly under your Xitami directory. That's where
Perl/CGI expects to find your .cgi and .pl scripts. I have successfully run
a simple CGI from this directory by simply putting the URL in my browser,
e.g. http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/perltest.cgi.
HTH!
