Re: [MacPerl-WebCGI] help with cgi & macPerl

[Kevin Lang <klang2@home.com>]

Want to clarify something, is this search cgi written in macperl?, if
not, it will have to be ported to macperl to run on PWS.

If it is a macperl cgi, open it in macperl and save as a "cgi script",
then put it in the cgi-bin and try it.
