I noticed that on some versions of POD, the directory is listed as:

www.domainname.com/POD/subdirectory

while on my site, it is shown as:

www.domainname.com/POD/index.cgi/subdirectory

How is the first version done that doesn't show the "index.cgi" ?

Beats me. The program has no configuration option that allows you to do that, so it must be something customized by someone else, and probably requires setting something in the Web server's configuration to make it work. For instance, in Apache, the two lines you could add would be:

ScriptAlias /pod/ /home/toyourcgibin/httpd/cgi-bin/
Redirect /pod http://grohol.com/cgi-bin/pod.cgi

and this allows the format of:

http://grohol.com/pod/

to be taken directly to the computers category or the top level. But if you look in the URL line, it's still just a redirect and it shows the cgi program again. So it's probably even more complicated than that.

Hrumph.... At least I feel better that it wasn't something obvious At Beebware it works this way and I posted a question to them about how they did it.
