However, this server now provides a means for individual users to run CGI programs. Store your CGI programs in this directory. The result will be the normal output from your CGI program, preceded by a description of how cgiwrap processed your program and a list of the environment variables available to it. This can be very useful if you cannot see why your CGI program isn't working. By providing the appropriate execution environment for your script, cgitest lets you run your program from the command line, letting you see all of its output including any execution errors.
Documentation is in preparation.
You should be aware that CGI programs can be insecure. This means that you should write them very carefully to ensure that whatever options are given to them they will do no harm. Some information on writing CGI programs can be found under help on CGI .
