Hi, gang, I've taken Tony Sanders' PERL script which uses freeWAIS to search
an index of a server and ported it to CGI. What this means is that if you
index your HTTP server with wais, you can use this script to search it.

For a demonstration, try http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi-bin/wais.pl. The
script source and HTML instructions for its setup can be found in the CGI
archive at ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in /Web/ncsa_httpd/cgi.
