What does my local 'cgibin' directory do?

Your local 'cgibin' Directory directory allows you to execute CGI scripts written in Perl, UNIX Shell, or C. Perl and shell programs are self-compiling and can be utilized immediately after transfer to the 'cgibin' directory.

Note: On some of our Linux servers the cgibin is named cgi-bin.

IMPORTANT: Although scripts with the .pl extension should work just fine, you may want to change the extension to .cgi if you experience problems.
