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...

If I have a Perl CGI script (script01), which fills an array(s) with information and outputs a HTML page with a link to another CGI page (script02); is there anyway to pass the array(s) from "script01" to "script02" when the page visitor clicks the link?
Hope that makes sense!

hobbit-ackinfo.cgi
HOBBIT-ACKINFO.CGI(1) General Commands Manual HOBBIT-ACKINFO.CGI(1)
NAME
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts
SYNOPSIS
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi
DESCRIPTION
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the hobbit-ackinfo.sh CGI wrapper.
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi is used to acknowledge an alert on the Xymon "Critical Systems" view, generated by the hobbit-nkview.cgi(1) utility.
This allows the staff viewing the Critical Systems view to acknowledge alerts with a "Level 1" alert, thereby removing the alert from the
Critical Systems view.
Note that the Level 1 alert generated by the hobbit-ackinfo.cgi utility does NOT stop alerts from being sent.
In a future version of Xymon (after Xymon 4.2), this utility will also be used for acknowledging alerts at other levels.
OPTIONS
--level=NUMBER
Sets the acknowledgment level. This is typically used to force a specific level of the acknowledgment, e.g. a level 1 acknowledge
when called from the Critical Systems view.
--validity=TIME
Sets the validity of the acknowledgment. By default this is taken from the CGI parameters supplied by the user.
--sender=STRING
Logs STRING as the sender of the acknowledgment. By default, this is taken from the loginname of the webuser sending the acknowledg-
ment.
--env=FILENAME
Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.
--area=NAME
Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if used, this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.
--debug
Enables debugging output.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.
QUERY_STRING
Contains the parameters for the CGI script.
