You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

Your host will have to tell you which folder is to be used for cgi/perl
scripts - if your host is on Unix this will normally be cgi-bin, but it may
not be inside your web space.
FP2002 will not normally create a cgi-bin folder within a disc-based web,
but there may be a cgi-bin within the root folder of a server based web on
your local PC. If the cgi-bin does not exist, you will have to create it
yourself.
Bear in mind that, if your live site is on a Unix server, perl/cgi scripts
have to be FTP'd to the server, *not* published using HTTP. HTTP publishing
will corrupt the scripts. Therefore, the cgi-bin should be made into a
subweb on both the host and local machines.

Trying to connect to the site with ws_ftp not
having any luck though. Would the host
name/address in ftp be the same as what is showing
up in the site admin page of Fp 2002 and should
they be the same log on / password?

You'll need to check with the host for the proper ftp path, and for the
password. Normally, ftp username and passwords are different.

Not necessarily.
I have 2 sites that I both FTP and Publish to. For one site the details are
the same, the other uses a different address for FTP, and different
Userid/Password.
Check with your host - it is possible that you do not have FTP access to
your site.

I used a cgi/ pearl app with FrontPage before with some struggle. I've
since abandoned it for a .net solution (asp.net) and it's much nicer ;-)
but, believe it or not, HARDER to get your head around, at least for me.
what are you trying to do with the cgi?

Looking at trying to do some scripts and try out
some different scripts. I do have ASP. What I am
looking for is 1. a decent calendar that maintains
the events as the years roll on and 2. a
site/document specific search engine that treats
my sub webs as an individual site. Also need
something that will build an index/TOC off of FP
2002 bookmarks (in to another file).

may the force be with you! ;-)
you might want to look around for .asp solutions to this. the things you
want don't sound too far out. there are tons of resources.
www.asp101.com
www.aspin.com
www.fuzzysoftware.com
to name a few.

I haven't built a calendar, but have built a site wide, document specific
search engine with CGI/Perl,
( www.rxs-enterprises.com/rxsents/search.html )
and the bookmark index should be easy (at first sight, though I am not sure
what is meant by "FrontPage 2002 bookmarks").
<IMHO>
If you are hosted on Windows, ASP used with Index Server would make these
tasks much easier (or at least no more difficult), and there is much more
support for ASP in this newsgroup (one of the best) than for Perl.
As for the calendar, again Windows hosting wins again, with ASP and
databases, over Perl. (PHP is easier on Unix than Perl for database usage,
but there may be "issues" with FrontPage)
