| First Line |
| |
The very first line (no blank lines allowed either) of the
Perl script must point to the location of Perl on the local
machine.
It should normally read:
#!/usr/bin/perl
or sometimes
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
If your local copy of Perl is elsewhere you might find it by
typing: "which perl" (w/o the quotes) at your shell prompt.

| Uploading |
| |
If you upload the file to the UNIX machine do it in ASCII or text mode
not in binary mode.
|
|
| |
| Check |
| |
Make sure that any user definable variables (if any) are
correctly set.
Make sure that all file names involved are correct.
Be especially careful that any path and URL variables are correct.
|
|
| |
| Permissions |
| |
Place the file(s) in a directory and set the permission
to execute
the script file.
The command: "chmod 755 filename.ext" (w/o the quotes) should do it.
Set all other permissions on auxiliary files correctly.
The command: "chmod 666 filename.ext" will make "filename.ext"
world readable and writeable.

| |
| Your System |
| |
Make sure that you have the ability to run CGI and Perl
from the directory that you have placed the script in. Note
that some systems require the files to be in a cgi-bin directory,
Your system administrator, web site host, or local guru should be
able to help you determine this.
