9. I found a perl script CGI on the internet, how do I make it work?

Open the file in a text editor - Check if the script requires more files that need to be uploaded as well (e.g. if you see a line 'require "cgi-lib.pl";' you need to upload the file cgi-lib.pl as well). The file should have an extension .cgi - that's how the server will know that it's executable. You should put your scripts in the cgi-bin directory. If the cgi script writes to a file, that file needs to have "write" permissions for everyone. Make sure you upload the file in ASCII mode.
