Hi Paul, Did you set up IIS for the virtual directory? You need top add a virtual directory for each location you'll be serving these scripts up from. File-system opening will not work as it does with static HTML. 1. Create a virtual directory in IIS 2 Right-click on it, and choose properties 3. Click configure 4. Make sure that *.pl and *.cgi are listed as file types for the server to handle. The path to the executable should be followed by " %s %s", like: f:\Perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s 5. Hake sure All Verbs is selected 6. Use the http://localhost/path URL format to access your script
