CGI
Helper script
Thank
you for using the Groundbreak.com CGI Helper script. Please send
me any improvements or suggestions you have for the script.
Helper.cgi
shows you:
1. Examples of your cgi environmental variables
2. Examples of the CGI.pm environmental variables
3. Paths to Perl and Sendmail
4. The Perl executable and your server software
5. All installed Perl modules and links to their CPAN descriptions
While
this script is helpful for finding the variables and
installed modules - there are some paths, etc..that might not
get recognized
depending on your server. You should contact your hosting company
or technical support team for further help.
SETTING
UP THE SCRIPT
1.
Download the helper.zip file from Groundbreak.com. Extract the
files to your
local hard drive.
2.
Upload the helper.cgi file to your main cgi-bin (or maybe the
cgi-bin directory
of the script you want to install) in ascii mode. Use an FTP client
(ws-ftp.com)
to do this.
3. CHMOD the script 755
4.
Execute the script from your browser. That's it!
USING THE SCRIPT
Most
of the environmental variables are self explanatory. When installing
cgi scripts,
using the wrong paths is often the most common mistake. The path
to a file that you see in your FTP client is not often the full
path - this script can help you find it.
The
best part about the script is the fact that you can click on the
installed modules and learn more about them from CPAN. In fact,
many of the CPAN links give you small code examples on how to
use the module.
Good
Luck!
