Hi and Merry Christmas. I am having a problem. The cgi scripts execute,
but the output is empty. I am studying a spider book that uses Perl so I
download perl and Apache, then uncomment out the lines in the web.xml
file in apache and rename the jar files in the server directory. Then I
launch apache and run my script using an HTML file. The script executes,
but I don't see any results. Perl works fine separately and so does
Apache. But together, they don't. Here is the source code for the 2
files. I think this has to do with permissions, but when I installed
Apache, I used the same account and password as my Windows username and I
am administrator. I am out of ideas. If anyone knows what is going wrong,
I would appreciate the help. Thank you.
