[MacPerl-WebCGI] Re: MacPerl and Web Sharing

[Vicki Brown <vlb@cfcl.com>]

Hi -

My recollection is that Personal Web Sharing doesn't do CGI scripts. We
really do need a FAQ for this one. Any volunteers?

Melora, you should join the MacPerl WebCGI mailing list (and probably the
general list as well). This question comes up regularly.

Join the lists at http://www.macperl.org/depts/mlists.html
The lists are archived at  http://www.bumppo.net/lists/
  you may want to check the archives for the answer.

See more about MacPerl (you knew this I think) at  http://www.macperl.com
