I'm running Redhat 7.0 and would like to play around with some cgi programs as I learn perl and cgi. While at work I was able to easily create a cgi-bin/ directory in my pub_html directory and make executable cgi programs that work fine. However, whenever I write and try to run them on my linux box, netscape just prints the program like a text file. Even if I put the scripts in the default /var/www/cgi-bin/ directory they don't execute. I think I need to be running apache or something. It's already installed but I'm not sure what to do exactly to allow cgi capability. Thanks.
