Fileman is a very powerful tool. I have modified it to edit perl scripts, and its a life saver. Yet the TEXTAREA problem, and the fact that the version being distribute here lacks the option to maximize the edit page makes it difficult to work with.

I hope a version that includes all the neccesary tools is available soon.

TEXTAREA solution:

There is no solution needed for the textarea "problem".

Fileman converts all <textarea>s to <text-area>s when you edit a file, but then converts <text-area>s back to normal <textarea>s when you save the file.

If you want to make the textarea larger, just change the number of ROWS and COLS to something a bit larger.

If you use fileman to edit your files, you are aware that fileman saves the file in BINARY. CGI files will not work in BINARY. Therefore, you must get rid of the hidden characters that are placed in the script. Jos van Ras has told www.users.f2s.com that if you want to edit cgi scripts with fileman, you need to scroll down the script to find the line:

# Begin Write Text File Procedure:

# Add these lines to that sub:
# Fix textarea tags.
$data =~ s,</TEXT-AREA,</TEXT-AREA,ig;
$data =~ s/(\r|\035)//gi;
# This is for removing the hidden ^Z character!

We the willing,
Led by the unknowing,
Do the impossible,
For the ungrateful.

I was actually reffering to a different problem... but even still, I do not have the problem you are describing.

I can upload, create and edit CGI/PL files and they will each run just fine.

Perhaps it's something specific to do with the F2S server?
