Re: [cobalt-developers] CGI Script Error

I don't know what are the two dashes after /usr/bin/perl, but THIS code,
works:

--------> CUT HERE <--------

#!/usr/bin/perl
 
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
 
print "<html><body> Hello, World !!!</body></html>";
exit;
 
--------> CUT HERE <--------             

  Best regards,
