I've been learning Perl for a couple weeks now but I'm still on the short end of the learning curver...

What is this CGIWrap thing that's installed on my server? Is it some sort of sandbox?

Thanks for helping out a n00b.

cheers!

CGIWrap is a gateway program that allows general users to use CGI scripts and HTML forms without compromising the security of the http server. Scripts are run with the permissions of the user who owns the script. In addition, several security checks are performed on the script, which will not be executed if any checks fail.
