It is MacPerl-WebCGI
Its address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] This may be the old
address; the new address might be [EMAIL PROTECTED], but for
the moment at least, the old address still works. The list you
posted to is the general MacPerl list. For questions about CGI
programming, it is suggested you use the WebCGI list. The email

This has to do with how suffix mapping has been set in your server.
One quick thing to try is setting the suffix to .cgi or .acgi
However, the issue I raised in my previous email stands. You need to
make sure this server uses the MacHTTP standard suite of AppleEvents
to communicate with CGIs. This may be in the documentation, but I
was unable to find it online. Another way to check this is to look
for any example CGI scripts. If these are not Mac specific, and do
not include reference to AppleEvents, this would indicate that
vqServer does NOT use the MacHTTP standard and thus is NOT compatable
with the MacPerl CGI glue.
