Re: call a cgi-script from a HTML-form

[renard]

If you are on Windows and you have a  ".pl"  file type association with 
either an editor or perl then you need to break that file type association 
so that your script is not opened if you click on it. Afterwards, the 
browser will not asked you where you want to save script.

Grüezi,
Krause Susanne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked:
 I try to call a Perl-script from a HTML-form (method get).
 The result, I am getting, is wrong.
 Instead of executing the script, the webserver is
asking me, where I wont to save (per ftp) the Perl-script.
 What I am doing wrong ?

You're asking in the wrong place ;-)
I would disagree with that because Krause's message is kind of vague...
Calling a perl script from a web browser seems to be a "Beginners CGI"
issue to me, or at least a place to start.
This is a web server configuration issue, not a Perl problem.
Maybe.
Maybe this'll help you:

Can't hurt ;)
Krause, you should send a bit more detail. A link to the script and
form would help.
Kindest Regards,
