Help with CGI mode and relative paths

[Maurice McCabe <mm...@orbsoft.com>]

I have a web page which works under mod_perl but does not under CGI.

In the following example, the fphover.class applet works in the first case
but can't be found in the second case (using CGI):
http://orbsoft.com/classic-leather/Dealers.htm
http://orbsoft.com/cgi-bin/embpcgi.pl/classic-leather/Dealers.htm

Is there some way to tell Embperl about relative paths or to ignore non-html
files? I have tried setting EMBPERL_PATH and EMBPERL_URIMATCH with no
success.

I am using Embperl 1.3.4 and Perl 5.6.0

Any help would be very much appreciated. I have tried several approaches and
have not been able to work it out.

Maurice

With EMBPERL_URIMATCH you can tell Embperl to ignore non html files, but
your class file will be fetched from the wrong location, because you have
the /cgi-bin/embpcgi.pl in front. If your cgi runs on apache try to use the
Action config directive, see

http://perl.apache.org/embperl/pod/doc/Config.-page-1-.htm#sect_2

If you can't do this, you have to correct your path, so it points to the
right loation without the cgi-bin/embpcgi.pl in front
