Um, OUCH!
There is ALREADY a file named rev in /usr/bin. So much for storing the rev
runtime executable in /usr/bin under OS X. Fortunately, it appears you can
just rename the rev file to something different, like runrev. It still
works...
There is no default file in /usr/bin named mc,

Hello Shari,
Using .php to mail something is another
option. Though I'm not sure how that would
differ from cgi.
They accomplish the same goal, e.g. web pages
generated and customized ondemand, but there are major
differences some of which I enumerate here :
* PHP is widely-used and popular
FWIW, PHP sometimes _is_ run as a CGI script. It's not the norm, but
PHP is just the language.
The advantage that PHP, Perl and others have it that they have commonly
installed web-server modules installed, which is basically a built-in
CGI.

Intricate, e.g. a large number of small details.

I think the mitigating factor here that's being missed somewhat
(although many of the point raised are valid), is that all of these
setups are mostly dependent on a properly-configured webserver.
If you configure things in a secure fashion, someone can write the most

Exactly my thoughts, Brian.
All other things equal, security of a metacard CGI script is no

Right. The only way it could become insecure is if you specifically
programmed insecurity into it. For example, a CGI that takes the
parameters that are passed and does them. Anyone who writes
something like that, though, probably deserves whatever they get. ;)

Welcome to the fray Alex,
However, I've never used libCGI for MC
