[MacPerl-WebCGI] Re: [MacPerl] personal web sharing

[Robert Link <rlink@binmedia.com>]

Janis,

I hope you'll forgive me taking this to the webcgi list, but where MacPerl
has concerns about noise to signal, I think this list can use all the noise
it can get for now.

I just thought it would be nice if you had the time to better describe what
you did wrong, how you figured it out, and what finally worked.  Based on
the notes in MacPerl, I tinkered for about three hours before I got the set
up right.

I've only done one cgi, a pretty simple form-based "play against the
computer" version of the prisoner's dilemma.  Now that I can do my testing
off line, the project I want to work on is a survey with multiple choice
questions.  I want to archive the answers, I'm guessing a tab-delim
database is best.  I'd love to hear what you, or anyone else, is
encountering as you work with MacPerl and cgi.

Of course, all my cgi problems are also porting problems, because I'm mac,
but my isp is linux.  So far there's been no problem, but who knows what
waits around the corner.

Another question. I've set my webshare as directed in the reference page
Chris Nandor offered, this gives me standalone networking, no connection
required.  But I gathered you and Allan were actually doing something on
line.  I'm confused by this.
