The thing is that I'm my own webhost, an old PC of mine is acting webserver in my
closet <g>. I installed Perl on the server and set it up to interact with the
webserver according to the instructions in the ActivePerl userguide. It was when
I looked into the archiveconfig thing after I got the error message that I
noticed Unix paths and stuff. I'm gonna have to check more closely if I can
translate a unix path into a windows path. I've seen some other fun perl cgi
stuff I'd like to try too if I can get it to work.
