I have just download and installed DBman on my local machine. Then I made the appropriate changes (edited db.cgi and check that the path to perl points to Perl 5.003 or better.
Edited default.cfg and set $db_dir_url to the directory that db.cgi resides in) I uploaded, in ASCII, to my hosting UNIX server and tried execute from my browser and received the "document contains no data error". I am using the unchanged dg.cgi script, with the exceptions stated above, as well as the default files that are provided with dbman(unchanged). All files reside in a directory named "dbman" below my root directory due to my inability to gain access to our hosting server cgi-bin directory. I am unsure as to whether our hosting server uses perl 5.003 however, I know that I had to set the path to a special perl 5 directory, but I am unsure as to what exact version of perl. Is there a way to check what version Perl servers are running or have available? I am running Sambar server on my local win98 machine. I have not tried this CGI on my Sambar server, however my other CGI failed multiple times. I am also considering getting apache and attempting to run dbman in it. Any advice from those who are running apache on win98?

I would appreciate any assistance I can get. I am rather stuck.
