Thanks livin' free Smilie

Your comments are appreciated, but I really must stress that I am a real nivice with unix/ pearl.

According to the error, the file should reside at:
/home/kitachi/www/gbook.html

It does !! (well, I think so !)

When you ftp in, use the "pwd" command to see where you are, then "cd /home/kitachi/www/" and "put gbook.html".

well. it;s at : home/kitachi/www/gbook.html what difference does puttin' "cd in front make, what does "cd mean ??

If you chmod'ed the file to 644, you set it that you have read-write permissions, group and everyone else both have read-only permissions.

well, the readme file says :

4.) Permissions on the guestbook html file are wrong. Try

644 (read/write for owner and group, read for others).

On many servers, cgi scripts may not run as "you". If

this is the case, you must use 666 (read/write for all)

Maybee 666 will work ??!

I'm not sure what 'chmod'ed'm actuallt stands for.. I think it has loats to do with setting permisson though !!

I'm wondering if the problem lie in the permissions on
/cgi-bin/guestbook/bnbbook.cgi ...
Is there a "Readme" file that came with the package?

Yes, it says:

You did not set the permissions on the file properly.

You must "chmod 755" the script. This means the owner

can read/write/execute, and group and others can read

and execute.

Also, I get a bunch of script errors on the index page, and the pop-up displays in too small of a window - there's no resize bars on it either...

do you mean my initial mail pop up mail pop up ??
if so, that's a real drag, because it looks jut fin in both I5 and netscape 6 on my mac but far too smal on a pc (apparently).. that's somthing i've gotta iron out !

Also, be careful if you're going to allow HTML code to be posted by other on your site. The current trend in web-(anti?)security is leading towards more and more cross-site-scripting exploits, and it can do some mean stuff to your visitors.

thanks.. I'll bear that in mind, especially when I become more use to pearl 1

cheers for you time and help... I guess it's time for me to get stuck back into it !!

Much appreciated

plack::handler::cgi

Plack::Handler::CGI(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Plack::Handler::CGI(3pm)

NAME

       Plack::Handler::CGI - CGI handler for Plack

SYNOPSIS

       Want to run PSGI application as a CGI script? Rename .psgi to .cgi and change the shebang line like:

	 #!/usr/bin/env plackup
	 # rest of the file can be the same as other .psgi file

       You can alternatively create a .cgi file that contains something like:

	 #!/usr/bin/perl
	 use Plack::Loader;
	 my $app = Plack::Util::load_psgi("/path/to/app.psgi");
	 Plack::Loader->auto->run($app);

       This will auto-recognize the CGI environment variable to load this class.

       If you really want to explicitly load the CGI handler, you can. For instance you might do this when you want to embed a PSGI application
       server built into CGI-compatible perl-based web server:

	 use Plack::Handler::CGI;
	 Plack::Handler::CGI->new->run($app);

DESCRIPTION

       This is a handler module to run any PSGI application as a CGI script.

UTILITY METHODS

   setup_env()
	 my $env = Plack::Handler::CGI->setup_env();
	 my $env = Plack::Handler::CGI->setup_env(\%override_env);

       Sets up the PSGI environment hash for a CGI request from %ENV> and returns it.  You can can provide a hashref of key/value pairs to
       override the defaults if you would like.
