hi,
i've issued the command perl -w checkusage.cgi and
i'm getting this message:
(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard
input)
and i've also check the log file :
error[2] NO such file or directory: exec of
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/checkusage.cgi failed.
premature end of script headers:
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/checkusage.cgi
headers #!/usr/bin/perl
root.root /cgi-bin/checkusage.cgi
nobody.nobody /home/httpd/html/ *.html
