need SSI help (QuickPoll)

[idave]

I have been trying to set up a cool lil SSI survey called "QuickPoll" on my domain using pearl scripts from:
<http://ethereal.virtualave.net/soft/qpoll/home.html>

I am a novice to pearl and cgi, but I believe I followed the intructions to every last detail- still I get an error. I have tried CNC help tools, but still- no love! someone pls try installing this tool! from the looks of it, its looks pretty cool. I did get the poll admin pages to work and the polls are very customizable!

heres the ERROR dummy page I am trying it on:
<http://www.designchild.com/test_poll.shtml>

the error message:
[an error occurred while processing this directive]

and here are the tags I used:

<FORM METHOD=&quot;post&quot; ACTION=&quot;/cgi-bin/qpoll31.pl?poll_id=3&amp;action=replace&quot;>
<!--# exec cgi=&quot;/big/dom/xdesignchild/cgi-bin/qpoll31.pl?poll_id=3&amp;action=replace&quot; -->

can somebody finally clue me in on how to get this thing working?
thanks! /dave[nbsp]

You might want to make sure that the cgi script that you are calling is chmod 755.

<!--# exec cgi=&quot;/big/dom/xdesignchild/cgi-bin/qpoll31.pl?poll_id=3&amp;action=replace&quot; --> You don't need the /big/dom/xdesignchild part. And you probably need to use include virtual if you need to include the query string.
So <!--#include virtual=/cgi-bin/qpoll31.pl?poll_id=3&amp;action=replace&quot; --> should do the trick.

HTH,
