cgi script and Perl5
Can anyone help ?
I am attemptting to run a script, "batchsetup.cgi" and i need to modify the first line of the script to represent the path to Perl 5 on the server. The syntax is "#!/usr/local/bin/perl". I have played around making various changes to this line, #!/.../perl --' etc etc but when I execute the script in a browser, each time the server returns,
CCGI encountered an error while attempting to execute this script:
Error Message: Exec format error
Error Number: 8
Permissions are set at 755 and the script resides in the sub directory //cgi-bin /la.
Is it me being stupid and the need to get more sleep?
Thanks

Hi jimjim,
The shebang should be #!/usr/bin/perl -w
The permissions should be 700 and, yes, anywhere under cgi-bin will do.
No it isn't.
