Hi Di, Yesterday i tried a "Hello world" program in perl using cgi script on a windows platform. The steps i followed were:
1. Made a directory in "C:" and named it "cgi-bin" 2. Wrote my source code file and saved it with "test.cgi" ############################################################################# Source code- #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n"; print '<html>'; print '<head>'; print '<title>Hello Word - First CGI Program</title>'; print '</head>'; print '<body>'; print '<h2>Hello Word! This is my first CGI program</h2>'; print '</body>'; print '</html>'; 1; ############################################################################## 3. opened it with my web browser. but now instead of giving the output it just shows the original source code. please help! regards PS: software that I've installed on my pc is "Strawberry perl plus padre" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
