Well, thanks to some great help in another topic, I've got my dev server, with full Perl, up and running on my USB stick. I have several sites I'd like to develop locally with US, but they all are centered around a set of customized Perl scripts, i.e., they each need their own cgi-bin, and their own instances of the perl scripts.

Is there any way to configure US to allow cgi-bins in each www subfolder?

That would require tweaking the server by you...

What is it that you are trying to do exactly... could be another easy way round it.

My CMS is a perl script, so each separate site, or URL, within my dev server needs a separate installation of it, so it can be configured for that site. Basically, if each site could have its own cgi-bin, that solves the problem.

I have read and worked with the pac file tutorial from the UniCenter, but I'm not sure that covers this particular need?

So are you going to be using virtual host or just folders...??

I was planning to use virtual hosting, but my concern was that I kept reading mention of the main cgi-bin only, so I wanted to check my options just to be sure.

why cant you install each script in a different folder under the cgi-bin?
