Thanks Rich. I actually found it. dumb me did not see a commented out line in httpd.conf on mod includes so any includes statement was not getting honored. I had uncommented the other 2 sections for allowing cgi scripts. Anyway, I about slapped myself silly because I spent a couple of hours going over the cgi and SSI sections on the manual and I just knew I had it right. I've since turned on speaking of the pound symbol. Normally I don'thave this on but now I'm thinking differently. Well, anyway, I got it working. Thanks for your message. -- If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way will promptly develop. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich Caloggero" <rjc@xxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 9:32 AM Subject: Re: Speakup digest, Vol 1 #1812 - 7 msgs > Apache for CGI is not difficult, however installing mod_perl or mod_php can > be tricky. > > So, to answer your question: you don't see the propper output because the > server is not processing your perl script as you expect.
