I will make an CGI-Programm
with Perl.I have writen the perl code but i don´t know,how I can look it in the Browser

I need help!!!

You know, I wonder that exact same thing. It always shows up as text. [addsig]

you need a webbrowser that supports it. if you still see text only, make sure it is set executable (use your ftp client for that).

heh ... guys, CGI is server side stuff ...
you'd need a httpd you can run those scripts on ...
[addsig]

svara: a web browser that supports CGI? huuh???

Maybe the best free httpd you can get is apache
http://httpd.apache.org
There is a windows version, and I think for running CGIs written in Perl you also need perl
http://www.perl.org ?
Then you'd need to setup the apache, which isn't too difficult. It should be done within 5 mins if you look at the manual
Anyways, I've never heard of a browser supporting CGI, and I think there doesn't exist one, but who knows... maybe there is one as svara says ... maybe he could post a URL if he knows one.

er, i meant webserver of course

CGI is a server side thing by definition, so a "webbrowser supporting it" makes no sense of course...

as kagez said, get apache!
httpd.apache.org

I'm not _very_ experienced with WebProgramming. I want to test some php stuff on my own box. Do I have to set it up as a web-server in order to do so, too?

Right now I can only test my php-scripts on other servers on the web :/ [addsig]

Mox:
Peter has a good tutorial on the YPN about this... it didn't work for me, but for some it seemed to work... maybe you can give that a try, and it that doesn't work, Just join the IRC chan andI'll try to help you
same for Henning.

fsvara:
oh, I really though that you were talking about a browser that supports it I mean, it isn't _impossible_

Anyways, the webserver I prefer is apache. it's fast, free and secure. There also is a httpd built into the Linux kernel, but I never tried it... maybe you should also try that one, since I've heard that it is very fast!
[addsig]

the httpd server in linux (called TUX) is for static pages only, though. If you need dynamic pages using stuff like php or cgi, you'll need to combine it with a userspace server, like apache.
For static pages, TUX really beats all records, tho. A downside is however, that if TUX crashes , your kernel goes down right along with it with an OOPS...

omniHTTPd can be dloaded from omnicron.ab.ca but it has a nice thing like expiring after few months to make you dload newer verson that should have been released few months ago. you will have to change time of your pc or hope that the made new veriosn.



sorrry for english.

I don't think that that is too nice at all :/
ok, if it updates itself if there are updates, that'd rock!
[addsig]

nonama your Url is wrong.

Thank you

Henning
[addsig]

ok, if you tell somebody that the URL he/she/it gave you is a deadlink, try to post the properl URL along next time ...
[addsig]

I need free webspace with an perl interpret but i think there isn´t any becouse i haven`t found one.Maybe you have found one [addsig]

last time i checked.. ok, that was a long time ago... but prohosting was offering that...

TRIPOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tripod may not be the best around, but when it comes to practicing perl it is quite easy. Just put your .pl or .cgi files inside the cgi-bin folder and include the path to tripod's perl interpreter and BAM!! ur done. www.tripod.com [addsig]
