the last posters were not very acurate,
you need to place your test scipt inside a
folder titled cgi-bin one step up outside of your htdocs
folder. that should fix why you cannot get the test script to work
properly,

You should declare cgi as an extension handled by the perl interpreter.

Have perl running and now have cgi page showing up. but there are errors that i cant seem to get fixed.

The cgi script i am using penpal.cgi from www.dajen.co.uk/cgi-scripts/

it seems i dont have it correct and the owner wants to ftp into my folder, which he cant, can i give him a way to look over what i have setup as to help with the problem?

my site he says is correct by what i sent him in the cgi file
http://www.cvb.dns2go.com/cgi-bin/penpal.cgi

but he says its hard to tell if i have folders setup correct.

This is out of the scope of the web server. If he wants to have FTP access to your directories then install an FTP server for that purpose.

be sure that you download and install Active perl's "GD" mod
so you dont get the errors on the specific scripts you are trying to
use. I checked them out personally and most of them require "GD"

GD is a set of functions that can create images using scripts. If you don't have a script that creates images, you don't have to bother with GD and everything will run fine.
