Re: [MacPerl] CGI.s on local Mac

[Arved Sandstrom <Arved_37@chebucto.ns.ca>]

I've had a NetPresenz setup running for some time for just the purposes of
testing scripts (mostly not CGI's; rather, using SMTP and FTP and HTTP and
all that, which works fine) locally.

I just wrote a short little HTML form and a MacPerl CGI script to process
it, and it worked out fine. I'm using OpenTransport 1.3, TCP/IP running
over AppleTalk, machine IP 192.168.1.1.

I re-checked my Control Panel settings, and nothing seems to be out of the
ordinary. That is, nothing is bizarre. :-)

Just a thought - do you have CGI Enabled checked off in NetPresenz Setup?

Also, and this is just personal preference, for testing I've had less
problems with Internet Explorer than with Netscape (mind you, I'm using
the previous generation of both, also as a preference). But both browsers
work.
