Good Day!
I am so happy that I have found eAuction. I've read majority of the topics and I hated to post this little
simple question. I just wanted to see if I was doing something wrong or is it my servers functionality
that can't read perl scripts. I know my server transcribes php without any problem. My question Mr.Werner
is this:
I' followed the download and installations instructions to the 'T'. When i type the web url in my
Firefox browser all I get is that my web url opens up the
cgi_bin/eAuction161/eAuction.pl file and I reget the eAuction.pl perl script aka text aka instructions
all over again in my web browser. The instructions are clear but this is what I See Below:
# !/usr/bin/perl
# eAuction.pl
# Date: 08/03/2002
# Version: eA-1.6.1.64
# Last update: 09/02/2006

# This program is dedicated to my dear sister Sabine.
# She died 2006 on September 25th - just 43 years old.
# Sabine - We are missing you every day.

etc etc etc etc etc....
I FTP the files to my server and I've checked and rechecked my chmod permissions.
So everything looks great! Do you have any idea of what I could have done wrong!
Thank you for your help!!
