Stas & Randy, Thanks for the help. I removed file associations and renamed a test file to have no extension.
There are no references to perl in http.conf apart from the very end where I have now copied from perl.conf. And I corrected the typo ;( The test file without an extension, along with the others, still gets returned. Any other ideas will be seized upon with alacrity; I'm going crazy here! Kind regards Angela > Make sure that later on in httpd.conf you aren't > redefining /perl to be handled by the default handler. > e.g. try to move the above config to the very end of > httpd.conf. If you're still having problems after trying that, you might try making sure that a Windows file association with .pl files isn't the cause. Try renaming the script from, eg, "testing.pl" to just "testing" to see if that helps. -- best regards, randy kobes --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
