How often have you tried to make your Perl script work but no matter what you did, the darn thing just refused to behave?

The two most common reasons why that happens is:

  1. Incorrect setting of file attributes - ie. permissions
  2. Incorrect server program paths.

Of the two, the 2nd is the hardest one to work out. 

This short flash movie will show you EXACTLY how to get your Server Program Variable Paths by using a brilliant little free script called envtest3.pl

The flash movie was created in response to this post from Michael Green's Forum

IMPORTANT NOTE! After using envtest3.pl to establish the correct paths for your script, please make sure that you delete the file from your server. Do not leave it in your cgi-bin because it does pose a significant security risk.
