6The link checker can be run as a CGI script in a web server as well as
7on the command line. The CGI version provides a HTML interface as
8seen at <http://validator.w3.org/checklink>.

10To install the distribution for command line use:
11
12 perl Makefile.PL
13 make
14 make test
15 make install # as root

17To install the CGI version, in addition to the above, copy the
18bin/checklink script into a location in your web server from where
19execution of CGI scripts is allowed, and make sure that the web server
20user has execute permissions to the script. The CGI directory is
21typically named "cgi-bin" somewhere under your web server root
22directory.
