To find the pages that include Perl scripts, you can sign into SSH and use grep. Here is some sample output from entering the command grep extern.cgi */*.html >extern1.txt from /home/chessvariants/public_html. This checks through HTML files in first-level subdirectories for the string "extern.cgi". My plan is to check for a given Perl script in all the files of the site, make appropriate changes in each file, and then when all references to a Perl script have been removed to delete the Perl script itself. In some cases, I expect I will have to write a new PHP script to replace the Perl script before I can start changing the references to it in files. With extern.cgi, I have mainly been entering an HTML link to the Zillions of Games page.
