Our Linux servers have the capability to run CGI scripts in your own "cgi-bin" directory. These scripts may be written in Perl and CGI languages.
Here are some helpful tips to follow when installing scripts:
* Upload to your "public_html\cgi-bin" directory to ensure proper file permission settings.
* Upload in ASCII transfer mode (and NOT BINARY mode)
* All scripts on our server must have permissions set to 755 (rwx-rx-rx).
* The first line of each script must read: #!/usr/bin/perl (if it is a Perl script)
