Using macperl I im ported a search engine CGI and my problem lies with the directory path diferences with mac and unix. When someone clicks on the url they searched for a : appears before the filename instead of a /. My problem is when I put a / instead of a : for my path in the script, the script won't work at all... So mac needs :, but how do I tell the script to convert the : for mac to a / for the unix url?? Can u help?? I'm desperatly asking everyone...with no success so far...
