A few common parameters that you may need in installing your cgi script are:
First line of perl scripts should be: 
#!/bin/perl
Your base directory is:           /www/htdocs/your_directory/
(where your_directory = domain name less the .com)

The location of our send mail program is: 
/bin/sendmail

The location of our date program is: 
/bin/date

Tips for CGI Installations
1. Run the perl checker on the script you are installing. Your perl checker is at: http://yourdomain.com/vpanel/    (Don't forget the trailing slash)
2. Read the documentation for the script you are trying to install! 
3. If you don't find any documentation WITH the script, check inside the script ITSELF, some scripts have the instructions written in with the coding. 
4. If you can't find any help, contact the author of the script (most scripts have the author's information in the header of the script) 
5. Make sure you have properly set any permissions for the file (most scripts require CHMOD 755, or read-execute permission to properly execute on the server)
6. Make sure you have properly set all paths and parameters! 
7. Make sure (if it's a Perl script) you transferred it as an ASCII file (Perl scripts are text files [ASCII] not binary files like some compiled CGI scripts!) 
8. Look at your error logs to see if the error description is helpful in determining the problem. You can see your error logs fromyour vpanel.
