There are some rescritions on executing cgi scripts:
They MUST be executable, and must indicate which program to run:
#/usr/bin/perl
>When I try to move the files into
>/cgi-bin/ I get a permission denied message.
You mean a permisson denied ehen doing a file copy ?? Check the permissions
on the cgi-bin directory, or do the copy as root.
