Here's how we do it: In httpd.conf there's a division ScriptAlias In general it looks like this: ScriptAlias apparent/path/on/server /file path/to/executables/directory So that when you call: http://myserver/apparent/path/on/server/scriptname.cgi it will run the script scriptname.cgi in the directory /file path/to/ executables/directory If it just lists the file contents, then something's not right....it should either run the script or produce an error. Second, make sure the first line of your perl program is #!/usr/bin/perl Or, again, you'll get an error. That it's listing the text of the document means that Apache thinks this is a static html directory, not a script directory. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
