ya i have installed perl interpreter but the IIS option in 'add/remove' programs is not checked and i don't have windows xp installation cd for the time being. But i've downloaded apache, won't that serve the purpose? i really have no idea about this, so any help would be highly appreciated. And I have downloaded Perl MSI file from activestate and i've run simple perl programs on the machine. Do i need to install it again and make some changes during that?
Thanks in advance, Regards, aditi. On 7/4/05, Langa F.
