HI. I created two files 'hello.pl' and 'hello.cgi' with the code below.
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "hello world";
I can view the page via both http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/hello.pl and http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/hello.cgi. Which one is more sense in Perl web dev?
BTW, the directory of 'cgi-bin' created by my VPS server, Do I need contact with my VPS support to remove it or just remain it like this URL style? Maybe http://www.mydomain.com/perDev/hello.cgi is better?
