Off-Topic - Apc

[ch...@hamptons.com]

I can't believe I'm coming here with this, but 

How do I do CGI with Perl in Apache for Win32?

I guess that sounds ridiculous, but I didn't find it mentioned in the
Apache FAQ, or the O'Reilly Apache book I bought, and I didn't find
anything when I did a search on the Apache page. Also, my plans to post to
an Apache mailing list were thwarted when i couldn't find any such list
mentioned on Apache's site. (Actually that's not true - the lists were
mentioned, but nothing told me the addresses).

So I guess I have two questions:
1) The above one about CGI, and
2) Where should I generally go for some REAL online help on Apache?

Thanks & Sorry,
Chris

Being an old time friend of you... I was just about to flame you in
public :) but I'm more than happy you recognized you've been a little
bit too impulsive.

Take care :)

I would like to apologize with everybody and expecially Chris for my
totally negative attitude on my previous reply.

I apologized to him privately but want this to be public since I made a
great mistake: I didn't understand my intentions to help the list were
just moving on the wrong direction. Instead of helping him and allow him
to be up-to-speed, I shut the door, leaving him out.

Shame on me. I'm such an idiot: I want to help others and I don't even
see how much damage my actions make....

I'm sorry, people. Please forgive me and forget my previous message.

Thanks for your patience, and Chris, sorry again, and keep up the good
work.

Please, please, don't!!!!

I suggest (for everyone's bandwidth) to simply ignore such questions or
reply privately. And for the authors, I know we are a bunch of apache
people but there are places (perl.apache.org) where you get much more
information.

Please, don't be lazy.

if you already know you're doing something you have to apologize for,
please, don't do it in the first place.

Managing a mail list is a really hard job. I already mentioned there is
too much noise on this list but I agree there is nothing really we can
do until we have something to work on. (If it wasn't for JavaONE I would
have opposed the creation of a project without code).

So, please (and this is for myself first), write something only if you
think it's really important. And for those who think I'm being an
asshole, you're totally right :)
