Using Perl scripts with MacHTTP

Here's what you'll need to do to the scripts to use them with your Macintosh Web server. See Chapter 13 of The Web Server Handbook for more information.

You don't need to adjust the first line of the scripts, but you may want to change it to #!perl for simplicity's sake.
Some scripts contain variables that you need to change; if this is the case, those variables will be at the top of the script.
Some of the scripts' companion HTML pages contain links that need to be adjusted; they are clearly marked by comments within the files.
Open each script in MacPerl and save it as a MacHTTP CGI Script, with .cgi at the end of the file name. (You must have the PCGI extension installed.)
