Rafferty; this is because of one of several possible problems. First, your web server might not be set up to 'notice' that .pl files are executable, such as if it is set up to execute scripts that are in the cgi-bin directory, but not elsewhere.
It also could be caused by the file itself not being set as executable so the webserver doesn't know to run it instead of serving it. It also could be caused if you don't send the correct content header back to the browser at the top of the output. dwoz >From: "Rafferty Uy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "ActivePerl Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: directing my form to my .pl program >Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 00:47:01 +0800 > >Hello everyone, > > I've been having a problem in my webpage that when I click my form's >"Submit" button which is directed to my perl ".pl" program, the browser >prompts for downloading the .pl file instead of interpreting it..
