Don't use the 'people' alias when calling a script in your personal CGI space...

I discovered recently that the cgi servers won't pass variable data through if you use the /people/ mapping in the HTML form for scripts written in your personal cgi space.

So, if you put a script (e.g., foo.php) in your cgi-bin, and you try to call said script using https://www.stanford.edu/people/yoursunetid/cgi-bin/foo.php, the variables won't get passed through.

Make sure you always use https://www.stanford.edu/~yoursunetid/cgi-bin/foo.php instead.
