What Does My Local "cgi-bin" Directory Do?

This directory allows you to execute a CGI script 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.

IMPORTANT: All PERL scripts should have a ".cgi" extension.
