ActivePerl Anyone??

[Shadal]

Does anyone know how to get ActivePerl to work correctly...

You can visit this link: http://shadal.cjb.net/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi to see what it does.

I've tried as far as making the first line in the CGI script "Perl.exe" and then it want's to download the script.. But refuses to run it. I have gone into "File Types" and assoiated .pl and .cgi to perl.exe but no luck still..

Thx,
Shadal

Add .PL to your PATHEXT environment variable.

Or... assuming perl.exe is accessable via your path, type: perl script.pl
...to execute it on the command line.

You have to goto the IIS manager and create/associate the file type on your web server.

Then you have to goto the virtual directory (within IIS manager) and set it up the execute scripts. Then verify this setting by going to the actual directory on the webserver and view the web sharing tab and ensure that the "scripts" checkbox is checked.

This is for NT4, not sure what changes are on Win2k and IIS 5.

Using the readme that came with the active perl software may help better describe what I did.

Good Luck!
