If you spend any time at all working with Perl and CGI, you're probably used to changing the permissions on your files. The good news is that Tripod's CGI
server takes care of that for you. (Besides, you wouldn't be able to change them even if you wanted to, because members don't have Telnet access.) Tripod's
CGI server just assumes that any file with a .pl or .cgi file extension has executable permissions.
The CGI server also directs your Perl scripts to the proper source for Perl on Tripod; normally you have to put a header at the top of your Perl scripts,
something that looks like: "#!/usr/bin/perl". Tripod's CGI server will ignore any header you put on your scripts, so there's no need to add that information.
