Simple Stupid Question

[chitownclone]

What do I have to do, to run a perl program from a folder inside the cgi-Bin. (cgi-bin/program_a_folder/program_a.pl)

Thanks

add a path to perl.exe within your script. You first line should be

#!\perl\bin\perl

Unless someone else has another suggestion.

On linux/unix

#!/path/to/perl
examples
#!/usr/bin/perl
#!/usr/sbin/perl
#!/bin/perl
#!/opt/bin/perl

You can find your path to perl by typing on the command line

which perl

in your html

<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/program_a_folder/proga.pl" name="myform">
  <input type="text" name="fielda">
  <input type="submit" value="SubmitMe">
</form>
