[techtalk] cgi - mail question

[Shelly L. Hokanson]

thanks all for your responses to my cgi question -

i decided to give up completely on personal web server. any web server that
doesn't recognize perl as a valid cgi programming language is worthless to
begin with!! grrr!  =)    i signed all of my students up for accounts with
free web hosts that allow custom cgi - and will now be able to teach them
perl/cgi to be uploaded to a server that *doesn't* ignore the shebang
line!!!!!!

hoorah!!!

thanks again all,
