verifycgi tests a CGI script's environment to verify that it is called from the HTTP server. To use it, place "/usr/local/etc/httpd/apache/tools/verifycgi" in the first line of your script as the interpreter for the script. For example:

#!/usr/local/etc/httpd/apache/tools/verifycgi /usr/local/bin/perl

• source for test script
• try the test script
• symbolic link to test script
• our secret

When run from the command line, the result is

verifycgi: parent process not found
