URL required to run CGI script in a web browser? [PERL]

135 100+
What is the standard URL to run a CGI script in a web browser? I've tried the following and it's not functioning: http://localhost/cgi-bin/example.cgi

Also, how can I find out what web server I'm using??

Cheers

First, you should definitely figure out what web server you are running. What OS are you on?

Once you figure out what web server you are running, you can go ahead and figure out if it is setup for CGI processing.

"localhost" is used if the http server is installed on your local computer. But some servers might use a differnt name so check andsee what server you have installed on your local computer. Apache is very common.
