[MacPerl] cgi development with BBedit

[Ryan Stanley <ryan@alaskamedia.com>]

I'm a bit new to MacPerl...

I use BBedit on a separate machine from the WebStar server (os8.6) to edit
my source files, then export directly to the server as .acgi. Even with
setCGImins.dp or adjusting the time resource with ResEdit, development is
frustrating. Once tested and edited, I have to either wait one minute for
the CGI to quit, or I have to roll my chair over to the server and click the
quit button in order to re-export. This isn't a problem so much once a CGI
app is developed, but what a pain during development and testing!

While the CGI is running on the server, if I try to export on top of it I
get a MacOS error (-47) because the file is in-use. I don't mind that the
CGI automatically quits after a period of time... but is there anything I
can do so I can re-export a script that is running? (aside from exporting it
with a different filename)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
