Well... CPAN certainly wasn't working. So I tried installing from the tarball:

The configuration instructions online are rife with options, and frankly it's mindbogglingly complex for someone like me who is trying just to install a 'ready-made backup system'. (Right now I am looking at https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/BackupPC.html#Step-9:-CGI-interface ) The amount of time spent analyzing all this stuff might be better spent just building something from scratch :( ------ Original Message ------ From: "Craig Barratt via BackupPC-users" <backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net>> To: "General list for user discussion, questions and support" <backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net>> Cc: "Craig Barratt" <cbarr...@users.sourceforge.net<mailto:cbarr...@users.sourceforge.net>> Sent: 5/23/2020 2:51:54 PM Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] how to install SCGI , exactly?? There are two different components that have to be installed, one for perl (the client end) and another for apache (the server end). The perl module SCGI needs to be installed, which can be done via cpan. If cpan doesn't work you can install it manually from the tarball, which can be found in many places (eg, here<http://www.namesdir.com/mirrors/cpan/authors/id/V/VI/VIPERCODE/SCGI-0.6.tar.gz>). Second, apache needs the scgi module (typically called mod-scgi) installed and enabled. As Doug mentions that can be done using your favorite package manager. Craig
