Hi

Below is the reply I received from my hosting provider :-

Thank you for contacting Online Support. Based on the information provided, you experiencing some difficulty with CGI and SSI scripts. SSI and CGI are enabled and functioning on the account. You can place CGI scripts anywhere on the hosting account, they do not need to be in a cgi-bin or cgi directory. Because you have a CGI/Perl enabled account, the system path to our Perl interpreter is /usr/bin/perl. I have provided a test PERL script below if needed.

NOTE: The file's permissions must be set to execute to work.

Example of a Test PERL Script

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI qw(:standard);
print "Content-type: text/html

";
print "Greetings user.
";

I have not fiddled with his example as he gave no call to SSI, (that I could recognise!)
