[cobalt-users] Stupid CGI path question

[Patrick Béart <patrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks:

	I KNOW that I've seen this somewhere (on the list?), but not 
the entire answer.

	I've had some problems with freeware CGI scripts containing the path
		#!/usr/local/bin/perl
instead of
		#!/usr/bin/perl

... and rather than try to train everyone to put the latter(more 
commonly used?) path in the same way for all CGI scripts on the Raq3, 
I'm seeing the logic in creating symbolic link to the other directory.

	The trouble is that my mental dyslexia kicks in and I don't 
know HOW to do this. I can't figure out if I need to create a 
symbolic link TO "local" or, from "local" TO  the other directory 
which actually contains the PERL interpreter.
	Which is the correct (Telnet) command:

1.    ln -s    /usr/local/bin/perl      /usr/bin/perl       (spaces 
exaggerated for clarity)

		... or ...

2.   ln -s     /usr/bin/perl      /usr/local/bin/perl

	... or am I missing something else, here, that I need to 
solve this problem?  TIA
