Ok, here's quick and dirty. Dump that mandrake and install Caldera OpenLinux 2.3
The cgi-bin is in /home/httpd/cgi-bin
Default install requires you to be root to put files there. Make sure they are
executable.
# chmod a+x
Here is all the cgi's I found on my recent caldera standard install.
# locate cgi
and you will see some default sample cgi's if you installed perl. That's the quickest way
I can think of.
