Hello.
Perhaps you would like to try Python (
http://www.python.org) ... It's a
powerfull scripting language. It's syntax is amazingly clear. And if you are
looking at this to develop web apps, take a look at Zope (
http://www.zope.org). Python runs on almost every
platform you can imagine :-)
Hope this helps.

Subject: Netscape Error on my FIRST
"Hello World" CGI
If this list is not for a begginer please let me
know were could I get some help.
THANKS VERY MUCH for your time and my
apologies.
I am trying to move away from Windows
learning PERL and CGI under Linux
Sincerely
Nestor Rizo-Patron
PROBLEM
NETSCAPE WILL NOT DISPLAY A WWW PAGE OF MY FIRST
CGI.
OUTLINE
*Created first.pl and first.cgi both of which run
ok.
*Used ./first.pl, ./first.cgi, perl -c
first.cgi, perl -cw first.cgi, chmod +x first.cgi to verify & run the
script.
*They ran according to the Text Book. Therefore,
I believe the code is OK.
*Placed first.cgi in
/home/httpd/cgi-bin.
*Using file manager I do and Open on
first.cgi.
*Netscape sends the error: "could not fdopen()
the new stderr:"
*Then Netscape displays my first.cgi
script.
FACTS
*srm.conf has /home/httpd/cgi-bin/ as the
ScriptAlias
*If I open using file manager
/home/httpd/html/manual/search/manual-index.cgi (RED HAT default document) I
get the same result. NO WEB PAGE BUT THE CGI SCRIPT and the Nestscape error
mention above.
*Red Hat Linux 6 from CD of Naba
Barkakati.
