CGI Scripts and “-w” switch

by leslie.brown@potlatchcorp . Updated 25 years, 10 months ago

I have been having lots of problems with CGI scripts (I use LINUX/Apache webserver). Finally I was able to get the simple “Hello World!” script to run but only if I put the “-w” at the end of the Perl call line:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

Why is thiscausing such a problem for me? I fear that it will cause me lots of problems if I continue my development without finding the cause. Please help!!!!
