referring back from the Demon mailform script
VEGANLINE
Demon's mail script refers back to the homage like this:
print "return to our <A HREF=\"/\">home page</A>, if you want.<P>";
This almost works except that the resulting page has an awkward url:
http://cgi.www.veganline.com which I do not understand.
The help file suggests change to
/docs/www.yourdomain.co.uk/your-file
or
/docs/www.veganline.com/index.htm I suppose, but my guestimated
attempts, even uploaded in ASCII as Demon suggest, lead to the "server
error" response.
Can someone who knows Perl let me in on the secret? Could you give an
example of what works, or a clue as to how to adapt it?
If so, thanks very much.

the cgis are stored under a different host name (the cgi.www.blah...).
what you need to do is refer back to the full URL of your site:
print 'return to <a href="http:\/\/www.veganline.com/\">home page</a>.';
(and using ' to quote the string avoids having to quote each '"')

That should refer back to the root of the site that called the script,
ie creating an anchor using an absolute reference within the site of
"/"

If it's case of changing the cgi, then maybe:
<A HREF=\"/\">home page</A>
needs to be changed to something like:
<A HREF=\"http://www.veganline.com/index.htm\">home page</A>
