Thankyou so much for the port Andreas :-)
I am trying to get BackupPC installed on OpenBSD 3.9 in CGI-BINARY mode.
I see this in the BackupPC documentation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To see if your perl has setuid emulation, see if there is a program
called sperl5.6.0 (or sperl5.8.2 etc, based on your perl version) in
the place where perl is installed. If you can't find this program,
then you have two options: rebuild and reinstall perl with the setuid
emulation turned on (answer ``y'' to the question ``Do you want to do
setuid/setgid emulation?'' when you run perl's configure script), or
switch to the mod_perl alternative for the CGI script (which doesn't
need setuid to work).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't find "sperl" on My OpenBSD 3.9
How do I get this functionality on OpenBSD
You follow the directions given in the block of text you gave.
Or you don't use BackupPC. It's a linux & windows specific thing.
Intuitively, this sets off warning bells because 1) they probably have
a linux-mentality 2) they don't care about making the code good enough
to work on any unix.
Or switch to mod_perl.
