If you are installing a cgi program on your site, one of the things you will be asked is the path to your cgi bin. A program that requires this is the tagboard program, and most of the errors that people get when they try to install it are due to the fact that the path is wrong.

But how do you know what your path is? A path is not the same thing as a .html address, and if you put that in, your program will not work. Sometimes, your website host has told you what your path is. However, if you don't know, here's a way for you to figure it out.

It's a program called Perldiver. Download the zip file HERE. Unzip it, then follow the directions in the text file and put the perldiver.cgi file in your cgi bin. Then, when you type in the name of your script as http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/perldiver.cgi, it will tell you your cgi path.
