Other point :
If you save your script on Mac, you must save it as a cgi script
(because by default, Mac doesn't give the permission for execution).
If you use macperl : go to "save as..." and in the dialog box, change the
type for "cgi script"
If you use an editor like BBedit (wich I recommand), first save your script,
then go back in your script and go in the macperl menu and in the option
"export to..." : choose "cgi script..."
Then your cgi will have the execution permission.
