I am trying to get the Web log analysis tool Analog (http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/analog/), and specifically the web triggering/report generating form (part of the Analog distribution) "anlgform" to work on my setup. It is... Beige G3 running... Mac OS 9.1 (w/MacPerl) WebSTAR 4.4 Analog 5.01 Currently, I have a couple small perl scripts that run fine with my MacPerl setup. But for "anlgform.html" and anlgform.pl" I can't seem to get the configuration right. I'm rather new to Perl and CGI scripting, and I understand that MacPerl can be a bit weird compared a standard Perl flavors. The directions in the config files seem clear enough, but it just won't work for me. Some questions/info: In "anlgform.pl" the original 21 lines are... --------anlgform.pl--start---------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -T ### ### analog 5.01 http://www.analog.cx/ ### This program is copyright (c) Stephen R.

You also need to edit anlgform.pl. --> <!-- First, uncomment the img tag above, edited if necessary. --> <!-- Next, uncomment the following line, edited to reflect the correct --> <!-- location of anlgform.pl in you server's filespace. --> <!-- form action="/cgi-bin/anlgform.pl" method="POST" --> --------anlgform.html--end---------------------- I uncommented and modified line 14 to read... <form action="/cgi-bin/anlgform.pl" method="POST"> I also too the raw text file of "anlgform.pl", opened it in MacPerl, and saved it as "CGI script" So, what happens? Going to anlgform.html (local to my LAN, "http://192.168.0.3/analog/anlgform.html";) displays the page fine, clicking the "Produce statistics" button results in MacPerl launching the script, but a Netscape 4.7 dialog box saying "This document contains no data..." etc. Using IE 5.0 I get the browser window displaying "Error executing CGI application." What am I doing wrong? Any tips or insights will be greatly appreciated. --Douglas
