RE: [cobalt-users] run cgi from telnet

["Dee Dreslough" <dee@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If it's a Perl script, you can telnet into the directory with the program
and type:

perl <name of cgi script>

and you'll get a text output of whatever the Perl script was trying to send
out via the webserver.

You can catch it by typing

perl <name of cgi script> > textfile.txt
for example:

perl qpadmin31.pl > Output.txt

You can then view that output.txt file by typing pico <name of file>
