Hum..
On my computer, exact same configuration (Apache, mySQL, Perl) I open IE and go to
http://localhost/cgi-bin/perltest.pl and it works.
404 error is file not found, so this is strange..
it's probably in your httpd.conf file
you should have a line stating:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/"
(or your path to cgi-bin)
Then you have right under that:
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
this is usually located right before the </IfModule> tag
Maybe that's the reason
