Lynn,
I've installed ActiveStates Perl a couple of times on Win 2K & NT and each
time, as part of the install, it allowed/prompted for the configuration of
the ISAPI part which basically meant you can run perl as an active x
scripting engine. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=perlscript> runs fine then.
I seem to remember that CGI still works fine and they had some sort of
speedy up extra module to make it go faster - kinda like a mod_perl for IIS
I suppose - anyway, that is an aside.
Ok, back to the point. Oreilly do a WIN32 Perl book - I've found it very
good.

Have you got any test perl scripts running on your IIS box?
I THINK you need to:
1) create a folder to house the cgi-bin
2) mark that folder as executable
3) put your perl (.pl) program in that. Don't think you need the shebang in
win32.
Can you try a simple hello world cgi program?
You can always convert to an ASP PerlScript? You know, the form submits to
itself and the serverside code does whatever and the send HTML back....
Can you post your perl code, html, where you put them in respect to
eachother on the webserver, execute permissions of the folders etc.
regards
joel

Subject: active perl on IIS
Can anyone point me to a site or book with detailed information about
configuring my W2K server IIS for perl and cgi? I have a form which I
designed at work on Linux and Apache, and it works fine in that environment.
I want to run it on my home W2K machine, but am baffled. My coworkers are no
help because they all work on *nix machines.
I installed activeperl and followed the configuration directions at the
activeperl site but after clicking submit on my form I get "the page cannot
be displayed". The active perl example pages work correctly, but they have
the perl script imbedded in the html page, unlike what I want to run which
is a separate html file and perl script. I'm not expecting anyone in this
group to walk me through it, unless you want to :), but can you point me to
a helpful source?
I did change the path in the form action tag, but there is probably
something else simple I am forgetting in this port from unix to windows. On
apache, I check error_log, is there an equivalent log file for W2K IIS?
Thanks,
Lynn
