I'm not an Apache guru, but I had a similar problem on Linux. You need to add the following directive into a "conf" file. I've never installed Apache on Windows before so I'm not sure where you need to put it. On Linux I added it to "default-server.conf", but there might be a better place for it.
<Directory path_to_perl_script_directory> Options +ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .pl </Directory> I recommend you also join the Apache mailing list, that's where I had help with this problem. Actually, your question is more suited to that list than this one. http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html On Tuesday 04 May 2004 13:06, Sumanth Sharma wrote: > Hi All, > > Pls Bare with me If I am scratching some rudimental stuff here > I know perl lang Fundas.
