Running CGI's locally on OSX

[Sarah]

This is probably a stupid question, but have you switched on Web sharing 
in the Sharing system pref?
There was an example of using OS X's web server on the list a while ago 
and it put this in the first line of the cgi:
	#!/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/Darwin
What is your engine's file name? I presume it is "mc" since that is what 
you use as the first line of your script.
