| Our servers have the capability
to run CGI scripts based on Perl. Perl is our language
of choice as it is a world standard and is well suited
to CGI. In addition, Perl code does not require manual
compilations whereas C code must be compiled on our
web servers prior to use.
If you have a custom CGI script that you need to use,
simply upload it to your personal "cgi-local"
directory
Here are some helpful tips to follow when installing
Perl scripts:
- Upload to your cgi-local directory to ensure proper
file permission settings
- Upload in ASCII transfer mode (and NOT BINARY mode)
- The first line of each script must read: #!/usr/bin/perl
or /usr/bin/perl5
- Reference the script using /cgi-local (and NOT /cgi-bin)
