[Nms-cgi-devel] Welcome

[Dave C. <da...@da...>]

Hey look, we have people on the list. Thanks for joining :)

Some things that need doing:

1/ Test, test, test. On as many platforms as possible.

2/ Document, document, document. Currently the scripts have READMEs that
are very closely (in some cases, _too_ closely) modelled on Matt's. Better
docs are important.

3/ Peer review. Most of the code was written by me in the course of a ten
hour hackfest one weekend. It can no doubt be improved. I'd love suggestions.

4/ Comments. At last week's london.pm meeting, it was suggested to me that
a higher than usual level of comments might be a good idea - given the 
number of people that learned Perl from MSA.

Feel free to pick on on something that interests you and get on with it.

Something else I'd like advice on from Microsoft experts. Liz Castro has
found that since she's added -T to the scripts in her book, it's harder to
run them in IIS. It seems that IIS ignores the shebang line until it's too
late and then barfs on it. I guess there's a config option somewhere in
IIS that defines the command line options passed to perl. Does anyone know
where it is?

Let me know if you've got any questions.

Dave...
