Re: [MacPerl] Silly Questions?... moving to WebCGI

What type of server does your ISP use? If it is not a mac then you do not
want to save it as a cgi script from the MacPerl menu... If it is windows or
unix you will need to save it as a plain text file.

What is the script you are trying to use and what errors do you receive?

I am also cross posting this to the WebCGI list as that is probably the best
place for this type of question.
