Hi,
I just finished programming my first script which is a Keyword Search Engine. Since I don't have access to a CGI-BIN and there are probably some syntax errors, I was wondering if someone would be interested in debugging and testing my program?

Please email me @

Or reply back to this message if you can.

Thanks!

hey dass!
it's a lot of stuff to debug a script no matter how long it is... why don't you do that yourself???
sooner or later you will run out of money if you don't get a server running on your local PC to make things "web-ready"!!!
for beginners I recommend the OmniHTTPD server. it works excellent on a local station and is absolutely easy to use! you'll find it at:

and of course you need a fitting perl-interpreter, to find here:

but keep in mind that scripts developed on a unix-based system will maybe cause errors, check some workshops and faq's to debug 'em, it would fill a book to explain all the differences......

sorry dass for the mismatch in the last sentence of my reply:

what I meant was: scripts developed on a WINDOWS-platform will probably cause errors, if you run them on a UNIX-based server without making them unix-compatible!!!

shame over me...... Sad
