	Hmmm... I checked the MIMEs on the server... There wasn't an entry for
.cgi, so I added it... Now it just sits there... :(  Cute little bar going
back and fourth, waiting for reply.. Been sitting there waiting for almost
10 minutes now.. ROFL!  :)  Is there supposed to be an entry for cgis or
does it just automatically assume perl for them?
