Is there a way to test my cgi-bin / perl is working ?

If you are experiencing problems with your cgi-bin / perl scripts try this test ...
  • Enter this into *NOTEPAD* do not use word or anything that will add additional definitions, characters, text, html etc

  • #!/usr/bin/perl
    
    print "Content-type: text/plain\n\nworks!\n";
    
    
  • Save the file as test-cgi.pl
  • Upload the test-cgi.pl script to your cgi-bin as TEXT
  • Change the script mode to 755 (executable)
  • Execute the script in your browser at http://(yourdomain)/cgi-bin/test-cgi.pl
If that works, then the error is in your cgi-bin / perl script and you shoudl contact the authors or add additional debug code.
