That won't do, you need to configure a webserver to execute that code. There are 2 ways to go about it: 1: install Apache, you can find a ready-to-go distribution at http://apachefriends.org 2: configure IIS to execute perl CGI, which is not extremely difficult, but requires you to know how to create a website on IIS. Also, the top results on that search sadly still refer to ActiveState, so are not relevant anymore. In a sense, what you need to do is add a .pl/.cgi association to IIS and configure it to open these files with Strawberry/perl/bin/perl.exe If no further information will be given here by the time I get home (to a windows machine), I'll post a more thorough guide. -- Erez La perfection soit atteinte non quand il n'ya plus rien à ajouter, mais quand il n'ya plus rien à retrancher. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
