Yes. The specifics on configuration may vary depending on OS version, but if you have a Web server [IIS, Personal Web Server, Apache, etc.] installed, you can run CGI scripts. The ActivePerl documentation includes instruction on IIS configuration. Check the left pane of the User Guide for ActivePerl FAQ Windows Specific Web Server Config I am sort of wondering why you installed 5.6.1, when the cuurent stable release is 5.8.0. If it is a Windows Installer 2 issue, you might as well pick it up from M$, since it is a free download. Joseph
