I have some scripts running on a unix machine.
perl scripts are run from a subdirectory (cgi-bin). How
do I get the website to show cgi-bin/index.pl whenever someone
visits the sites root.
ie,
www.somesite.com would actually point to www.somesite.com/cgi-bin/index.pl
I tried a symbolic link but that didnt seem to work.
Thanks
