Re: perl cgi location
Using /var/www/ is an FHS violation, so no you cannot use it in a
Debian package. Please work with upstream to make it work no matter
where it is installed. Much software in Debian has a build-time
configured prefix, not sure if that is possible with perl cgis?
You should also not assume anything about which URL(s) and host(s) the
sysadmin wants the software configured to respond to.
Take a look at the Debian webapps policy and mailing list,
dbconfig-common for database stuff and wwwconfig-common for webserver
stuff.
I'd hope new software entering Debian would have IPv6 support, you
might like to help upstream with their efforts on that front.
