I am just in the process of setting up a new web site and would like to use CalendarScript on my site. By default, CGI-BIN and Perl are turned off on the web server by my web hosting company. My webhost has a few questions about CalendarScript that need to be resolved prior to turning CGI and Perl on on an Apachie web server. The problem is that I am unsure how to answer these questions because I know VERY little about CGI.

The questions are:
1. Would I be using binaries in CGI-BIN?
2. Would the scripts open sockets?
If it uses binaries - Yes -> What would they do?
If it opens sockets - Yes -> On what port and why?

If my host will allow me to run this, I intend on purchasing CalendarScript and setting it up on my site for internal department use, as this looks like a very useful application.

** 1. Would I be using binaries in CGI-BIN? **

No. Perl scripts only.

No.
