Can I add my own CGI scripts?

Our LINUX web servers have the capability to run’ CGI scripts in your own 'cgi-bin' directory. Scripts may be written in Perl and CGI languages. Here are some helpful tips to follow when installing scripts:’ 

- Upload to your cgi-bin directory to ensure proper file permission settings.’ 
- All scripts on our server must have permissions set to 755 (rwx-rx-rx).’ 

If you need help in changing script permissions, please see the following:’ 
-’ Upload in ASCII transfer mode (and NOT BINARY mode)’ 
- The first line of each script must read: #!/usr/bin/perl’ 
- Ensure the permissions are set to 755
