Hi,
I want to try and learn something about Perl but can't seem to get it running on my Mac (OS 10.2). Its the installation that the machine came with if that makes a difference.
I installed the 5.8.0 package from www.serverlogistics.com but when I try a perl file (eg. http://localhost/test/formmail.pl - test is an alias for /Library/WebServer/test/ set up in httpd.conf) it just shows me the file contents - doesn't parse it.
I tried uncommenting the lines for mod_perl in httpd.conf but that didn't seem to help.
Also... I want to be able to use sendmail from PHP. I did a test and the logfile reported it as failing because it wont authorise localhost. How do I make it let me use it?
I read something about chmod g-w / but not sure what g-w means and it said something about this disallowing finder access to things.
Thanks!
