ef_check.cgi has been developed to improve efileman support. It may also usefull for other surposes.
It helps to determine the system parameter before an efileman installation and will help to save time and prevent misunderstandings while identify the problem in case of trouble.
It's recommended to delete ef_script after a sucessfully efileman installation. The script tells a lot about your account also to a potential attacker.

ef_check requires Perl 5.004 and is currently available in version 1.3.
The following information will be listed:

• path to Perl
• Perl version
• operating system

• path to sendmail if available
• paths to Perl modules (%INC)

• availability of required Perl modules for efileman with version number
• availability of optional Perl modules for efileman with version number
• list of installed efileman modules with version number
• list of installed efileman language modules

• enviroment variables
• list of other installed Perl modules with version number

• list of installed system locales (depends on system)
• the used locale defined by locale configuration of the system
• a form to temporarily change locale for test purposes

• list of global variables of cgi.pm
• enviroment varibles fetched by cgi module

• list of Perl enviroment variables
• list of available Perl signal handler

• the path value given by findbin.pm

• an upload test form, which will show the unproceeded upload on top of the page, to test an upload generally

Install ef_check.cgi by setting the shebang line (the first line of the script which defines the path to Perl), by uploading into cgi-bin or efileman directory (if already exists) and setting execution permissions if required.
