One thing that sometimes happens is your cgi will try to write a 
temp. file the stock cgi-bin directory permissions are 775 and if 
you're trying to write into it it will fail. What I've done is create 
a subdirectory called /scripts/ and chmod it to 777 and then place my 
publicly executable script in this directory. In your case the .cgi 
might be attempting to write the temp .html file in the cgi-bin 
directory and that's not allowed.

> /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/

that looks like the right path.

I think there's some notes on this topic on Tenon's site. I don't 
offer that feature so I can't help.

Good luck.
