Lay person needs perl help solving error message
Hi,

My name is Tex I am past 60 and in need of perl help. My hobby is genealogy and I am using a perl program to display my data on my web pages. I don't even know enough to know how to ask in the right way for the help
I need.

This program is written in perl it is open and has been updated a few times.
Below is a Url for where the error can be seen:

Bailey-Chadwick-Dick-Hall-McDonald-Redwine-Shirley Database GEDCOM Output

This is my page and the program is open source. I am using files that have been changed from the orig. I really like the changes and will stay with this version no matter if I can get this fixed or not.

I contaced the last person that made some of the changes and he has helped me get his version up and running but I understood that this feature didn't work right and he had no time to try and fix it.

What I am hoping for is for some one that knows how or wants to play with this program to email me and I will send you the .cig files etc on my system.

I guess what is happening is that on this one feature it calls for the /cgi-bin twice rather than just once. If I take out one of the cgi-bin at this point and hit enter the feature will work fine. Below is what the path looks like that I get with the error messge:


/cgi-bin/cgi-bin/igmged.cgi/dick.ged?Database=dick&Subject

Your help and advice is much sought an appreciated.

Perderabo, Thank you ... I am sorry I didn't go by the rules.
I have a spinal cord injury and makes for very hard reading as well as typing. I know them now and will not do that again.
