Thank you for using the Groundbreak.com CGI Helper script. Please send
me any improvements or suggestions you have for this script.

In essence, the script shows you:
1. Examples of your cgi environmental variables
2. Examples of the CGI.pm environmental variables
3. Paths to Perl and Sendmail
4. The Perl executable and your server software
5. All installed Perl modules and links to their CPAN descriptions

While this script is helpful for finding the variables and 
installed modules - there are some paths, etc..that might not get recognized
depending on your server. You should contact your hosting company
or technical support team for further help.

Thank You, Steve Miles - Groundbreak.com 

---------------------
SETTING UP THE SCRIPT
---------------------

1. Download the helper.zip file from Groundbreak.com. Extract the files to your
   local hard drive.

2. Upload the helper.cgi file to your main cgi-bin (or maybe the cgi-bin directory
   of the script you want to install) in ascii mode. Use an FTP client (ws-ftp.com)
   to do this.
   
3. CHMOD the script 755

4. Execute the script from your browser. That's it!

---------------------
USING THE SCRIPT
---------------------

Most of the environmental variables are self explanatory. When installing cgi scripts,
using the wrong paths is often the most common mistake. The path to a file that you see
in your FTP client is not often the full path - this script should help you find it.

My own personal favorite is the fact that you can click on the installed modules and 
learn more about them from CPAN. In fact, many of the CPAN links give you small code 
examples on how to use the module.

Good Luck!
