Why Do Some CGI Scripts EXEC from HTML and Others Dont

[madaxe2]

This CGI script runs when called from html by

HTML

<!--#exec cgi="CGI_BIN/first.cgi"-->

CGI

#!/perl/bin/perl -wT

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<div style='position: absolute; top: 132; left: 419; width: 43; height: 25'>
<h2>Hello, world!</h2></div>\n";

WHY DOES THAT WORK AND THIS DOES'NT


HTML

<!--#exec cgi="CGI_BIN/CHECK.cgi"-->

CGI

#!/Perl/bin/perl -wT

use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;

my $query = new CGI;
my $cookieinfo = $query->cookie('mcjeeves.net');

if (!$cookieinfo)
{
 
print $query->redirect("../index.html?error=1");

exit;

}
else
{
print $query->redirect("../homepage.html?error=1");
}

ANY THOUGHTS or betterways to do this

I believe you should be using:

<!--#include virtual="CGI_BIN/CHECK.cgi"-->

Could be what Kevin said, or it could be CHECK.cgi might be check.cgi??
