hey,
I downloaded a form processor program from the net and i installed it and put all the files where they are supposed to be. Now, when i put the form on my webpage, i have to give the full path of the perl program. The question is how do i give the full path of the program. Should i say "http://myip/root/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/form_processor.pl" or what? I tried like everything i can not seem to figure it out.

Check that the permissions for the 'form_processor.pl' are owned by <whoever is supposed to on them> (wwwrun/nogroup on my cgi-bin stuff)

Where did you put the pl script?
