The instructions supplied with pod are a bit ahead of me - I have almost no Perl experience. I don't get some of the core imperatives.

I've modified the files per installation.txt and dealt with the file extensions. I am only going to be testing this on my local intranet, so I put the relevant files (pod.cgi, podvars.pm, servertest.pl, footer.html, header.html into my c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\pod folder (some of that might be wrong already but that's what I did). I have the latest ActiveState Perl installed and working. At this stage I just want to see it work; later I'll move it (somehow, need help with that too) to a proper section of the intranet where it can be integrated with the real site.

So what next? How do I run this? Some of the example sites seem to point directly to pod.cgi; and some seem to point elsewhere. If I browse to http://machinename/cgi-bin/pod.pod.cgi I get a nice look at that file but that's certainly not the point <g>.

I have these value in podvars.pm:
$pod_progname="pod.cgi";
$pod_urlpath="/cgi-bin/pod/";
$pod_fullpath="$pod_urlpath$pod_progname";

Oddly, I cannot find vars called $cgi-url or $templatedir in podvars.pm. Are the instructions wrong?

I'm just missing some of the basics. Thanks!
