I have developed my first web pages and uploaded it to the ftp server. All went ok, but I read I needed a .cgi program included to work. Can some kind mentor help me out.

I don't have a knowledge of cgi.

Thanks in advance

Is this a server hosted out of your control?

Basically, you will need to have your program end in .cgi and have it put in your cgi-bin directory (or other directory if supported by your host).

Have you checked out any of the Perl CGI tutorials that are out there?
