I tried this just out of curiosity but ran into problems. I don't get
any errors but I just get a blank web page. Here is a clip from my
httpd-access log:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [25/Mar/2002:09:32:15 -0800] "GET /cgi-bin/uptime
HTTP/1.0" 200 0
And here are the permissions on the script:
blacklamb# ll
total 1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 79 Mar 25 09:30 uptime
I have another script there that I picked up along the way to verify
that cgi was working. You can see the output at these URLs:
http://mykitchentable.net/cgi-bin/uptime
http://mykitchentable.net/cgi-bin/test-cgi
I have basically no experience with either Perl or cgi. What is
missing?
Thanks,
Drew
