Configuring a CGI program or Perl script can be difficult, but the following information will try to explain any peculiarities of our server and what steps to take in the inevitable event of errors. Execute Permissions - The Perl scripts and CGI programs need execute permissions set on them.
Most ftp software has a chmod command or another such command to set permissions.
If you cannot determine this, consult the documentation of the ftp software or contact their technical support. Set permissions to 755 for Perl and CGI files. Filename Case - The case of letters in filenames, directories, and scripts is important. If you name your script guestbook.pl but call it as Guestbook.pl, you will have errors. Requesting Help - We do not provide technical support in writing Perl scripts and CGI programs.
