Most people don't set their file paths properly when trying to use
anlgform.pl. When the perl script calls analog.exe, the "working
directory" is the directory that the script is in, not the directory
that analog is in, so analog can't find analog.cfg, and therefore it
fails because it can't find the language files.
Don't just check that the perl script runs at the command line - go to a
different directory and call the perl script by specifying the full path
C:\TEMP>C:\InetPub\wwwroot\scripts\anlgform.pl

If you find the problem, let me know. I have never been able to get the form
interface to work. The steps I went through are identical to yours. Have you
run the anlgform.pl from the command line? Usually you will be a more
detailed message regarding the problem. I always got that it could not open
the language file - I moved it, tried many variations of the path statement -
never got it to work.
Best of luck!!!

: Hello,
: I'm a new user of analog. I installed analog 4.11 at my IIS4; Sp6a Server.
: When I start analog.exe, it will produce the result.htm file - everything
is
: like my .cfg configuration.
:
: Now I have problems with the perl script. I Active Perl 5.6.0.617 (actual
: download) and copied the demo files to the web page.
:
: When I start anlgform.htm I can start the anlgform.pl. The server will
start
: perl.exe and the result at my browser is the error no 500 (internal server
: failure)
:
: When I start anlgform.pl directly, I will get the following message at my
: browser:
: Program Failure
: Analog failed to run or returned an error code.
: Maybe your server's error log will give a clue why. [Fri Sep 15 12:48:56
: 2000] E:\Internetseiten\zoz.de\cgi-bin\anlgform.pl: "e:\analog\analog.exe"
: failed to run or returned an error code. Died at
: E:\Internetseiten\zoz.de\cgi-bin\anlgform.pl line 109.
:
: So, the next thing I tried is to rename the .pl file to .plx, because I
: found in the readme of ActivePerl that the .plx files are started as an
: ISAPI program and the .pl are run with perl.exe (just a performance
: advantage)
:
: With the plx extension the server will start analog.exe and nerver stop
it.
: When I start it five times I have five times the analog.exe in the
server's
: task manager and I'm not allowed to stop the task.
:
: What is the failure ? All of you are able to run the perl script, but not
me
: :-(
