hi

I've installed man2html:

# cd /usr/ports/textproc/man2html
# make install clean
..................................................
Installing programs to "/usr/local/bin":
    man2html => /usr/local/bin/man2html
Installing manpages to "/usr/local/man":
    doc/man2html.1 => /usr/local/man/man1/man2html.1
if [ -d /usr/local/www/cgi-bin ] ; then  install  -o root -g wheel -m 555 /usr/ports/textproc/man2html/work/man2html3.0.1/man.cgi /usr/local/www/cgi-bin ;  fi
===>   Compressing manual pages for man2html-3.0.1_1
===>   Registering installation for man2html-3.0.1_1
===>  Cleaning for perl-5.8.7
===>  Cleaning for man2html-3.0.1_1

but if I try to connect via browser:

[url]http://192.168.0.3/cgi-bin/man.cgi[/url]

then, I get "Internal Server Error"

If I try to start from command line, I get following error:

# cd /usr/local/www/cgi-bin
# perl man.cgi
Content-type: text/html

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML//EN">

Manpage viewer available with the
<a href="http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/man2html.html">man2html</a>
package.
