<--The sheep's perdy cool ain't it? I like these forums..

Hi, I'm a n00b to this website so I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place and please don't murder me! My problem is I have a form and am trying to use perl to submit/post/send it. But every time I did this I got a 405 error. Since then I've been on some other sites and forums and found a line to insert into my .htaccess file (It's Options ExecCGI). That seems to have solved the preliminary problem but now I have a new one in that fire fox displays a message saying: Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. Not only am I a n00b to these forums but I'm also one to perl, I have beside me an O'Reilly book on CGI programming (the one with the rat on it) and so far I'm still on the first post example in it. It's only a little greeting! I feel so stupid having to ask you lot with something so small! I don't see how I'm going to get the advice/learn otherwise, I'm the only one in the office with any knowledge of web design (Trying to sort out the companies website).

If it makes much difference the site's on a linux server and I'm using a mac (without dreamweaver, this would be so much easier if I had dreamweaver!) so I'm hard coding with pagespinner (the trial version).


Thanks guys (and gal's o' course) your advice is really needed!
