How o execute cgi using lynx?
I'm trying to get xmltv working on a Debian stable machine.
I've downloaded the latest perl, and installed in in /usr/local/bin, to not
conflict with the Debian supplied version. The I used the CPAN module to
install all teh required perl modules.
Now, I can run all the free standing scripts (using #!/usr/local/bin)
without a problem. This resulsts in my having a XML file with the listings
in it. Tis is not very useful by itself, I need to run the CGI script
supplied with thsi package to select which programs I wish to watch.
Acording to the docs, I should be able to use:
lynx lynxcgi::pick_cgi (pcik_cgi is the name of the CGI perl script).
However doing so just results in the following error mesage:
Excutanle lnk is rejected due to loaction or path.
So, I went and looked in /etc/lynx.cfg, and it looks like I should be anle
to run anythign on the loack machine (if I'm understanding what I see
there, corectlly).
This package looks very useful in minimizing the time I waste looking at TV
(so I can sepnd ore time playing with computers :-)). How can I make this
work?
