This program is designed to take a given input temperature in either
celsius or fahrenheit ranges and convert them to fahrenheit or celsius
as well as Kelvins, Rankine and Reaumur.  The 3 files included are
this README file, the Perl script tempcon.pl and the HTML page that
points to this script called tempcon.html.  This script has been tested on
UNIX and LINUX environments successfully.

The following configuration changes need to be made in order to successfully
run this program:

1) Place the HTML page tempcon.html on your server where your other HTML
documents reside.  Be sure to change the "FORM ACTION" line to point to 
the url location of tempcon.pl.  (For example-
 )
Please note that on some servers you have to change the extension of the Perl sc
ript from .pl to .cgi.

2) Place the perl script tempcon.pl in your cgi-bin directory.  Be sure to chmod
 this file to 755.  On some servers you will have to chown this file to the prop
er ownership name for your site.  The only 2 things in this file that need to be
 changed are:
a) Make sure that your path to Perl is correct (typing "which perl" at the comma
nd line will answer that. Also, be sure that your Perl path is the very first
line in the script.
b) Make sure that the $refurl variable is set to the exact url path to your temp
con.html file.  The bad referer subroutine keeps others from copying your html f
orm and pointing to your cgi.
