cgi-burn

cgiburn (cgiburn 0.4.2)

CGIBurn is a Web-based front end for burning CDs.

Out of the box, it knows how to copy from one data CD to another, from a directory of files onto a CD, from a CD into a directory of files, and some other, less useful options (See SETUP below for the less useful options).

It is written in Perl for use under Unix. See the section on Requirements for more details about exactly what is required.

CGIBurn is written by Scott Gifford. Please report any questions, problems, complaints, or praise to me at the email address above.

Release Notes

See the file NEWS, included with this distribution.

Requirements

CGIBurn requires a computer which is fast enough to keep up with the burning process. Nearly any modern computer will do; it was originally developed on a Pentium 133 and ran with no problems.

CGIBurn is a front-end to other CD burning and copying programs, such as cdrecord and mkisofs. As such, it requires that copies of these programs be available and working. It also requires the Perl CGI module, which comes standard with modern versions of Perl.

CGIBurn is written as a series of CGI scripts that run backend libraries and driver programs. In order to run the CGI scripts, you'll need a Web server that supports CGI scripts written in Perl. Any version of Apache will do.

Using it

The installation process is thoroughly documented in the README file.
