I saw that one and commented it out. It has some effect although I cannot tell you why. All it would appear to do is to prepend /usr/local/bin to the PATH but it already had /usr/local/bin in the path.
So things are working now. Modulo my understanding of why line 32 was messing things up. Question: where should I do my local development? When using the rackup system with port 9292 I developed in the local git repository. But the .cgi scripts seem to come from the /srv/ area. I just tried out a sample script and it seemed to find it from the git repository. How does that work? Thanks for all the help.
