Looks good. > StartDocPort: failed to start process > Port = RPT1: > Command = "C:\Documents and Settings\pdk\My Documents\perl > code\redirect\redirect.pl" Don't put it in a directory whose path has spaces in it. Just put it in c:\windows or c:\winnt or something :-) Also, have you set up the .pl extension correctly? If so and it still doesn't work, try calling perl explicitly on the .pl file with a full path to the perl executable.
