Can I add my own CGI scripts?

Our LINUX servers offer the ability to execute CGI scripts in your personal 'cgi-bin' directory. You can code these scripts in Perl and CGI. Here are some suggestions for script installation:

- Make sure to upload to your cgi-bin directory for correct file permission settings.

- Every script on our server should have permissions adjusted to 755 (rwx-rx-rx).

If you require assistance in modifying script permissions, kindly do to the following:

- Upload using ASCII transfer mode (avoid BINARY mode)

- The initial line of each script should be: #!/usr/bin/perl

- Confirm the permissions are adjusted to 755
