Private version of CGI.pm
How do I install if I'm not root? it shows how to install the faqomatic into a
private path using perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/what/ever
If the server's own CGI.pm is back-level then one can also install a private version of CGI.pm, but I didn't find a clear statement of how to use it. The faqomatic didn't seem to find it without assistance, but continued to use the system version.
After looking around, I found a recipe whereby one inserted this
into the "fom" stub that goes into the cgi-bin directory:
use lib '/path/to/CGI'; require CGI(this goes directly before the
use lib '/path/to/FAQ';which has been inserted automatically during the build process).
I'm not sure if this is the correct or optimum procedure, but it
does seem to work OK.
Any page that requires authentication redirects me to nothing (e.g. /cgi-bin/, which is forbidden). What's going on?Maybe that contains a better answer to this question? (I haven't tried it yet).
