Hai Aditi,
I have worked with Apacche, Activestateperl 5.8.7 and XP. I will give
my experience to you.
1. Install Apache
2. Install Activestateperl
3. Configure Apache to accept cgi scripts. Please read this
"http://localhost/manual/howto/cgi.html"; link after installing apache.
It will show how to configure apache. Change unix paths to windows paths.
4. Place the script in apache2/cgi-bin/
5. and execute the script by executing
http://localhost/cgi-bin/<scriptname>.cgi
Try this one. It will work, if not write back.
The only rights possible in windows are read-only and hidden. If still
it showing rights problem uncheck these two in the properties
Regards,
Ganesh

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,

I know this is a stupid question, but have you installed the perl
intepreter on your XP system and does IIS know that it should call perl for
the.pl ext? A good perl intepreter that will do the setup for you when you
install is activeperl. www.activestate.com <http://www.activestate.com>

Subject: cgi problem
Hello Perlers,
I'm very new to CGI programming. I'm working with following:
Browser: Mozilla Firefox
Server: Apache 2.0.54
OS: Windows XP
I'm going through the following online tutorial for cgi:
http://www.cgi101.com/book/
The 1st cgi code that I wrote is as follows:
first.cgi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!perl/bin/perl -wT
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
print " Content-type : text/html\n\n";
print "Hello World!\n";
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But when I write 'http://localhost/~P4/first.cgi' in the browser location
window (P4 is my username), it said "Internal Server Error". I'm working
on
my personal computer. The tutorial says that it might happen because I
haven't changed file permissions using 'chmod 755 filename'. But there is
no
chmod command in Windows XP. Also, if I don't want to change file
permission, will the code not be executed?
Please Help,
Thanks in advance for your help and time.
Regards,
Aditi
