Cgi with perl or C -
I was wondering if I can do my cgi with C. I have been using perl but I know more C. If I do use C won't I have to compile it and then can I just change the name to .cgi? Probably a silly question but I'm dyin' to know.

Most servers have a C compiler you can use through Telnet. I think the most common is the gcc compiler.
I save my file as filename.c and upload it to my cgi directory. Then, I go to my cgi directory through Telnet, and use the following command to make the program a cgi:
gcc-o filename.cgi filename.c
The key is to have telnet access and know what compiler the server uses.

That was fast! Thanks. I do have telnet access and I'll try it. This should be fun.
