1. The default filename for web pages are processed in this order:
   
   index.html
   index.wml
   index.cgi
   index.shtml
   index.jsp
   index.js
   index.jp
   index.php4
   index.php3
   index.php
   index.phtml
   index.htm
   default.htm
   default.html
   home.htm
   
   
2. Filenames are case sensitive so they must match or you will get a file not found error.  i.e. index.html is not the same as INDEX.HTML
   
   
3. Transfer Perl scripts and text files as ASCII.
   
   
4. Transfer gif and jpg images as BINARY.
   - MAC users should transfer images as RAW DATA.
   
   
5. If your perl script doesn't work, make sure the permissions are set correctly on the script itself and/or files and directories the script may write to.
