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

["Alvy" <alvy@wncmarket.com>]

THANKS>>>
IT was not made in macperl as far as i know. it is a search scritp that i
downloaded from web and is running fine on Unix.
The script is from  http://www.syvilnet.com/ and is called Meta tag search.
I do not know how to "port to macperl to run as pws". Is that simple or is
there a tutorial for that.

I can and have installed many cgi scripts on unix platform and i can muck
with perlcode just enough to alter an exsisting script, but i cannot write a
script from scratch .(yet) SO HOPEFULLY this is "porting" not too difficult.
I am just not familiar with MAC platform...
