in reply to building a dynamic site with cgi

Hmm... Fellow monk, I feel like a modem with a faulty parity bit setting, recognizing your words but failing to grasp what you are after.

Do you wan't to upload cgi scripts to the webserver and be able to move it around, using only the webbrowser? That sounds doable to me. Upload scripts are quite common, and I'm sure merlyn has several articles on how to create one. Combined with some sort of webbased filemanager you might have what you are after. Take care of security though. Such a system would give full access to the webserver, allowing the administrator to upload arbitrary code, which could be used to open up holes in your webserver.

Should I be totally off the target here, please describe your problem a little more in depth, giving examples and possibly code that you've already written, and we will surely be able to help you further.
