Greetings to All,

Has anyone used Perl from Arachne locally?

I have a copy of the DOS Perl implementation - which works fine when run
as a normal program.

I am trying to play with some CGI scripts (initially to do a 'hit
counter'), where the CGI script is run as if an image.   The CGI scriot
should calculate and return the relevant image files to construct the
count (example code taken from a Perl book).

As far as I can see, the perl is running, and the script is returning
the correct image file names.   The cache ends up with the correct file
names in it.   But - the file is either 0 bytes, or the file contains
the name of the file it's supposed to be (i.e. 2.gif) and not the data
to give the .GIF image.   Maybe it's just me using the parameter
settings in MIME.CFG wrongly?

Has anyone had anything like this working?
