can't run cgi thru formAPI

We are in Teasmite5.5.2 on Unix

I want to generate xml automatically, when the user click "Save/SaveAs" in DCT. I am able to see all info. thru alert stmts, but, I am sure that it's not firing the cgi script( I am printing the passed variable to one text file). Here is the code for formAPI and cgi. Any help in this is greatly appreciated.
======formAPI code===========
function saveHandler( button ) {
dcrName = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Control/dcrName");
var filevalue = dcrName.getValue();
dcrName = pathPrimary + pathSecondary + pathTertiary + "/" + filevalue;
// alert ("DCR NAME " + dcrName);
IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(dcrName, null);
runGenerate();
return(true);
}

function runGenerate()
{
var params = new Object();
var dcrpath = workarea + '/' + templatedata + '/' + categoryAndType + '/data/' + IWDCRInfo.getDCRName();
alert("dcrpath is " + dcrpath);
params.dcrpath = dcrpath;
var server = window.location.hostname;
var url = "http://"+server+"/iw-bin/generatePage.cgi";
IWDatacapture.callServer(url, params, true);
return(true);
}
=======cgi script as follows =====
#!/usr/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl -w

use CGI qw(:standard);
&CGI::ReadParse;
$|=1;

my $cgi = new CGI();
my $dcrpath = $cgi->param("dcrpath");

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

open (FILE, ">>/export/home/tkumbum/test.txt") or die("Couldn't open file \n");
print "Hello We are here -- testing";
print "DCR FULL PATH:$dcrpath <br/>";
close(FILE);

exit;

may be Apache was not configured properly to execute perl under iw-bin

Hi KTR,
would be great if you could post the corrected version too..

We urgently need it to solve a problem in our dcr -> html gen

Hi,

I was looking at your post, and it is something sorta similar to what I am trying to construct.

I have one question, how did you get the vpath information from FormAPI (It's probably unsupported but I would like to know anyway)

Thanks!
