[Xitami] A newbie question....

[Richard.Copits at bwc.state.oh.us]

It's a Perl script that creates several directories and also produces
output which I want to show up in a browser. When I run it under DOS,
the directories get created and it runs and displays the HTML code in
the DOS window. When I try to run it in the browser window by using
"http://localhost/xitami/cgi-bin/auction.pl" it pops up a dos window,
the code sort of flashes by and the dos window closes. It's as though
the HTML code somehow never "calls" or gets "piped into" the browser so
that it runs in the browser. When I run the code on a Unix/Apache system
on my ISP it works fine. I just can't seem to get the output of the PERL
program (the HTML code..) to show up in the browser. I'm new at this and
I think I'm missing a step somewhere with getting it to run on a W2k
system...  I've read as much as I can find on this problem but nothing
seems to address what I need to do. Perl works, the admin console says
Xitami is working, but I cant' get the output to show up in my
browser....

Without a touch more information - e.g.the perl script or critical
portions of it - its going to be hard to answer your question.

My on;y other suggestion would be to try running one the the CGI.pm
example scripts -
http://search.cpan.org/src/LDS/CGI.pm-3.17/examples/index.html - and
see if it works as it should.
