Hey everyone,
I am hoping someone here may catch this message soon. If anyone knows anything about Perl, you'll find this a simple question and think I'm an idiot...it's okay, I am anyway.
I am a lil confused....I want to load up some scripts to my cgi-bin and I have to change the path to perl and the full directory path to the file that I am wish to load.
Obviously, I cannot ftp this file until I have changed the paths and directory whatsit.
The question I have here is

"/full/directory/path/to/config.pl"

do I have to type in www.my.com/cgi-bin/config.pl or do I just need to state /cgi-bin/config.pl
I haven't found anything to state it clearly enough.
Please help,
Lefora
I can be reached on yahoo mess vampyre_goddess77 if anyone has a clue

i know nothing about pearl, but if i can suggest something, i think for pearl related question, u are better ask to a pearl forum,

http://www.visualbasicforum.com

probably u have better chances to have a pertinent awnser there...

Good Luck,
Manon

Cheers, Ill have a look around

****, i even mistaked perl in "pearl"... just to show how ignorant i am for perl related... lol..

Sorry

Ok, i can help you!

if the script needs the full path to the "config.pl" file, that means its actual location in your home directory.

so that could be;

"/home/html/cgi-bin/config.pl"

the full path to the file location not the URL, like

"http://www.you.com/cgi-bin/config.pl"

hope this helps, if any more questions just ask here and i will try to answer as soon as i can.

chao, xtravel

You're a genius...thanks a lot.
I asked someone else and they thought it was the full address which I wasn't sure about.
