Cgi - Perl

[isaak9860]

How do I get cgi files up and running once their uploaded to the cgi-bin folder?

1. Upload in ASCII/text mode (not binary) especially if written on a Windows system
2. chmod/set permissions to 0755
3. Shebang line of:

#! /usr/bin/perl

4. Before body of the page, output header:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

5. A friend taught me to add:

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
