What do I need to do to get my Perl / ASP / PHP script to work ?

Before mosts script will run on a hosting server, it has to be uploaded into your /cgi-bin/ directory (in ASCII mode unless encoded) and made executable (CHMOD 755).

You may also need to set the correct extension on the file:

• Perl files need to have the extension .pl or .cgi 1st line must read #!/usr/bin/perl
• Debug Perl files need to have the extension .pld or .cgid
• ASP files need to have the extension .asp
• PHP files need to have the extension .php
• iHTML files need to have the extension .ihtml

We recommend that each script is placed in it's own sub-directory within /cgi-bin/
