Re: [MacPerl] cgi development with BBedit

["Jonathan W. Daniel" <Daniel.71@osu.edu>]

You can trash the CGI script instead of waiting for it to quit. That's one way to eliminate the wait problem.

Although, you should be able to test a script quite extensively by running it with MacPerl from the MacPerl menu in BBEdit.
