To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Saturday, August 9, 2008, 7:35 PM Apache just isn't configured to catch .pl extensions and translate them through the Perl interpreter. I haven't actually done this work (aside from installing mod_perl, making sure the module is loaded and making sure .pl is interpreted) so that's the best I can do right now. Just to test the script, you can do "perl scriptname.pl" from the commandline to see the output. Thanks, Dan Lund It is necessary for him who lays out a state and arranges laws for it to presuppose that all men are evil and that they are always going to act according to the wickedness of their spirits whenever they have free scope. -Niccolo Machiavelli On Sat, Aug 9, 2008 at 5:04 PM, keith smith wrote: > > Hi, > > I am running Fedora 5.
