Re: [cobalt-users] Problems running cgi-wrap

[Keith Davis <cache@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It looks like you are over thinking it Colin. At least on the RaQ4.

Think of the script as just another file and address it the usual way.
If it was an html page and http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/script.html
would access it, then http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/script.pl will
execute it (given it has world x permissions). There is no need to use a
cgi-bin, either within the domain or outside the domain, perl-cgi
scripts can live and execute anywhere inside your domain and they are
called just like any other file within the domain.
