CGI FAQ
CGI
Every account that has a domain name has its own CGI-BIN directory.  In the home directory, you should see a folder called either www.yourdomain.com.cgi or just cgi-bin.  You should upload all CGI files into this directory.  CGI scripts/programs will not work inside the HTML directory

The following is an example Perl script that you can use to test the CGI functionality of your web site: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html>\n";
print "<body>hello, world!</body>\n";
print "</html>";

Remember to make CGI files executable.  If you are connected via ssh or telnet, use the command chmod 755 scriptname.  If you are using WS_FTP, click on the right button (of your mouse) over the scriptname, and select the chmod command, then click on executable for all three categories.  Refer to the Permission and Security page for more information about UNIX/Linux file permissions.
