as you may have noticed a lot of people get bollock'd by the
dos2unix and unix2dos 'end of line' problem.
but as we also noticed if you start with
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
you can actually skate around that....
Given that you have access to a unix box - in the dark the big
delta's between solaris and linux are not that interesting in
the actual perl coding space - so I would argue - avoid the
IIS/windows problems - and go over to the *nix box and just
get on with perlMongering.
What you will also find is that you can run your
myNewCgi.cgi
from the command line and debug it...... once it stops
complaining at you - then hang it up in a 'safe place'
and call it out from your webPages....
