How do I make a cgi script World-executable
I'm trying to set up a form mail script on a website that when Submitted, a cgi script is executed and a perl translator (located in a secured and inaccessible folder) translates the script. After speaking to my hosting provider, I was told to "Telnet into the system and make the script executable." Thanks to Unix Forums user, PxT, I'm now able to access their server and login, but I'm not sure how to make this script executable. I think it has something to do with the chmod command. Please advise...
