Q:
I am trying to write CGI's for the first time. At the moment, I type the
address and the code is returned to the browser uninterpreted. I am using
Apache Tomcat 4.0 and figure it has something to do with a setting, but
have no clue what. I found something that mentioned editing the
<location> and making sure that ExecCGI was set, but don't know where to
put that.
Thanks.
A:
You actually has to place the code into a directory that is configured to
be a "cgi" directory. Otherwise it is just a text file for the browser. To
execute Perl code, you do not need Tomcat. That is for Java.
Look at the Apache httpd.conf file and search for the word cgi.

Peter
