Hello. I am a complete newbie to perl (though familiar with other languages, net and 
otherwise) and need some advice on getting perl cgis to work at all. I have downloaded 
a shopping cart implementation from an Internet site and cannot get anything other 
than "500 server errors".

My problem is this - I have set up the "personal web server" which comes with Windows 
'98 and am using #!<path> to point the cgis at perl. I have 2 or 3 questions I am 
seeking the answers to:

1) Will perl cgis work with the Windows web server so long as I have a perl 
interpreter somewhere on my machine?

2) If so, can I just point the cgis with #!<path> or do I need to do something else?

3) I have downloaded and installed ActivePerl from O'Reilly's web site. I received a 
.msi file which I used by running it to install perl. Do I point the cgis to the 
perl.exe folder or the ActivePerl.msi folder?

Thanks in advance.

Mark Forster
