Dear folks,
    This may be a little technical for this group, but if you can help
we would appreciate it.
    We have a vax running VMS of course. The network installed our
webserver software (dir HTTP_SERVER). We have no idea what kind, we have
no manuals, and I am not sure what readme files apply to what. The
server directory does contain a CGI-BIN directory, but...
    Now enter me. I want to put up an ILL request form on the library
web page. I have found a Perl script on the web, I have designed the
page, and I have downloaded the Perl interpreter but have not installed
it -- I have to find something to unzip (?) the tar file.
    Can any techies out there, tell me what steps I and the computer
center need to go through to run and what we need to install to get my
MailForm perl script to run and send ILL requests to me as an e-mail
message?
    I have found a ton of things about CGI scripting, but it's the
server setup that is holding us up.
    Thanks.
