mason-users: I am a mason newbie who has installed:
apache2 libhtml-mason-perl libhtml-mason-perl-doc libhtml-mason-perl-examples on a Debian 5.00 VM running inside VMware Player 2.5.2 on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit: 2009-07-02 00:11:22 r...@vmdebian500 ~ # cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler AddType text/html mhtml 2009-07-02 00:11:27 r...@vmdebian500 ~ # cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-mason <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mason.holgerdanske.com DocumentRoot /home/dpchrist/mason-book <Location /> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler </Location> </VirtualHost> 2009-07-02 00:12:35 r...@vmdebian500 ~ # apache2ctl configtest Syntax OK 2009-07-02 00:12:43 r...@vmdebian500 ~ # apache2ctl graceful 2009-07-02 00:13:06 r...@vmdebian500 ~ # cat /home/dpchrist/mason-book/hello.mhtml % my $noun = 'world'; <HTML> <BODY> hello, <% $noun %>! </BODY> </HTML> When I use IE 8.0.6001 and browse to http://mason.holgerdanske.com/hello.mhtml, IE downloads the output of Mason rather than displaying it.

I can't remember if IE tried to download or run the file -- it's been a while and I don't name Perl/CGI scripts *.pl anymore. Checking Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Set Associations, I see: .mhtml MHTML Document Internet Explorer I don't recall setting this association, so I assume it's a Windows/IE default (?). Any suggestions?
