The script you are trying to execute for 1. is a perl script 2. was developed for Unix So 1. do you have perl installed, 2. I am not sure ifthe script will work on Win32 or not. Why don't you try a script like this: #!c:/perl/perl.exe print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n<BLINK>Smile, you're on Candid Camera.</BLINK>\n"; remember to replace the #! line with your path to the perl interpreter...also make sure you have perl installed, or test with the below batch file. This will show you that there is nothing wrong with Apache's cgi's on win32: ////put in file somethig like cgibat.bat///// @echo off echo "Content-type: text/html" echo. echo It works Then request http://youmachien/cgi-bin/cgibat.bat Don't forget the . after the second echo it is essential for the cgi to work. If the above doesn't work take a look at your ScriptAlias directive in httpd.conf Shane
