Hi,
I am a newbe in Perl. I installed the webserversoftware thttpd-2.20b-4 on a
RedHat Linux 7.1 host (hostname "linux"). Browser on client 200.1.1.5.
Now I wrote the html page "guest.html" below which calls the perl script
"guest.pl" printed below again.
The query displays nice on my browser (IE5.0)and I can submit the answers.
Now one would expect the output of the perl-cgi script to be displayed by
the browser. But nothing whatsoever is send to the browser at all.
The logging from the webserver (thttpd) shows the GET ..... message from the
submit is received from the browser. The webscreen on the browser is blanked
and that's it.
The directory cgi-bin is a subdirectory of my homedir which is laso the
current workingdir of the webserver.
The modebits of the htmlpage are 644 and of the perl-cgi script 755. The
directory has 755.
As far as I can trace the Perl-CGI script is not executed at all.
Has anybody any guess what I am missing here ???
