Help: I want a chat script!

[Chris Gonnerman]

Let's go over this step-by-step.  First, what web server did you download?
Most docs assume Apache.

You have a form (stored in a .html file or produced by a cgi script, doesn't
matter) which contains something like this:

    <form method='POST' action='http://url.to.the/cgi-bin/script'>

"script" must be a script file in the cgi-bin directory.  You probably can
shortcut it like this:

    <form method='POST' action='/cgi-bin/script'>

and this is probably better.

The 11.2 docs then describe how you decode the data sent by the form.

If you are still having problems, please post code (and tell us what
webserver software you are using).
