Anadi,
Thanks, but not really...
The
#!D:\Perl|bin\perl -w
is ignored in windows - the key is the file association ( the My Computer,
View, Options stuff). Once windows knows which program is supposed to open a
particular file extension it should be off on running, but I had you put the
#!D:... inplace
because some of the web servers (Apache for one) do use it to determine how
to run a script.
Now let talk 'bout HTML. I don't 'know' HTML but I can fake it with the Perl
CGI module. There are many examples available on the web.
I am not familar with the <% %> syntax (Mason or mod_perl perhaps??), The
next hurdle for you is probably configuring the web server. Once you can run
a cgi script on your server, hit the web examples and the CGI module.
Have Fun
