Re: [MacPerl-WebCGI] Can't even get Hello World to work
Yo,
Ok, this problem has nothing to do with your Perl scripts.
When you can look at the source in your browser and you see:
<!--#exec cgi="hello.cgi"-->
This means that your server-side includes aren't on or aren't working. Read
your server manuals and try to get these running or call your sys admin.
Fix that and you should be fine.
