I have a program that can take a picture with my digital camera from the
command line called PSRemoteTest.exe
I have Apache web server installed on my computer and can run CGI scripts.
* I am creating a cgi script that will take a picture when it is run from
my web browser called test.cgi (see below)
* My program works from the command prompt when I type "perl test.cgi"-----
PSRemoteTest.exe takes a picture
* When the same cgi script is run from my web
browser -------PSRemoteTest.exe doesn't work only html is displayed.
How do I enable the Apache web server so it will run PSRemoteTest.exe?????
