[MacPerl] Using NetPresenz and MacPerl to test CGI scripts

[latu@nebula.ispace.com (lance turner)]

I have installed MacPerl and NetPresenz hoping to be able to test and debug
CGI scripts before transferring them to my WWW providers server.

But it isn't working.

I am able to access HTML files. But whenever I run a Perl CGI script using
an HTML form, I get the following message in Netscape:

        Error: 404 CGI failed

        The CGI Application failed (error -1708).


I have and installed MacPerl 5.1.0r2, and I'm able to check the syntax and
run basic, non-cgi scripts with it.

I was also able to correctly run "example.cgi", which is an AppleScript cgi
included with NetPresenz.

Is anyone using NetPresenz in combination with MacPerl to run Perl CGI scripts?

Is there an easier way to run Perl CGI scripts on my Mac?
