[web] Testing perl pages offline
Author
I know perl and I'm going to use it for a CGI script. I don't yet have web hosting, I figured my browser (Firefox, running on Linux) wouldn't struggle with this, but it keeps trying to find an external program to run the .pl file with.
So how do I get around this?
Thanks
Run a server. Seeing as you said you're on Linux, have a hunt for Apache.
Install that, copy the files to the htdocs folder and point your browser to http://localhost
You'll also need to find some way to get Apache to execute the Perl scripts. I've only set up Apache to use PHP before, so you'll have to hunt around a bit.

Slightly unrelated, but i've come across another problem. Can anyone tyell me why the following perl code
gives "No recipient address found in header" as output?
open MAIL, "| /usr/sbin/sendmail -t";print MAIL 'From: me@domain.com\nTo: someone@place.com\nSubject: abc\n\nTest\n.\n';close(MAIL);gives "No recipient address found in header" as output?
