[MacPerl-WebCGI] MacPerl/Webstar cgi problems

[EaTrom <eatrom@blazing-trails.com>]

I have a client running Webstar 41. with MacPerl 5.2(?). We tried to get
either a perl or cgi script to run, but to no avail. I would appreciate any
tips to track down the problem. Here is what happened:

When trying to run the script with "www.domain.org/cgi-bin/script.cgi" or
"script.pl" it gave an error of "Error. Unable to launch ACGI application."
MacPerl was running in the background.

Using fetch, I checked the privileges on the cgi-bin, and they were set to
owner r/w/x but no access for either group or public. I feel this is a
serious problem, but we couldn't find a way to change them on the server. It
only allowed R/W/RW accesses and setting public to R didn't change the fetch
settings. I don't have telnet access or I would try that.

I'm able to run these scripts under unix with no problem, but I don't have
MacPerl here in the office. I plan to play around with it at home tonight,
but any help would certainly be appreciated.

I suspect that there could be either or both of two problems. The privileges
settings through Webstar, and getting MacPerl to recognize the script in
order to execute it.

Help??
