[cgiirc-general] quick cgi installation question - from first time cgi installer

[Adam R. <ada...@gm...>]

I've never installed a cgi/perl app before.  I am used to working with
php.  I downloaded the .zip archive of CGI:IRC and unzipped it to my
desktop (WinXP Pro).  I then uploaded it (via FTP Voyager) to the CGI
bin of my web server (a linux server).  I then pointed my browser at
www.mydomainname.net/cgi/irc.cgi and I got a 404 message.  Now before
I go checking permissions and mucking around, is this how you install
a cgi app?  Just copy it to a folder under the cgi bin and point a
browser to it as you would any other address?  Thanks for your time.
