First run the program in the DOS window yourself and check that the output
is what you would expect i.e. NOT a list of compilation errors.
I work in a similar setup to yours and we run perl via PWS - I've been
caught out by the above on a few occaisions!
I place the script in the CGI-BIN ditrectory of PWS. and access the script
with a full path in the browser: http://machine/cgi-bin/somescript.pl
I also use the CGI module in my programs
use CGI qw(:all escape unescape);
to print headers to the browser etc. Maybe this is of some help

>I'm using PWS and ActivePerl to test perl scripts before uploading them to
the web.
I've Got perl working, and have modified the registry. I'm now trying to
run a perl script from a web browser(IE5). The problem I have is that when
I open a file such as test.pl from within the browser, a ms-dos window
opens, runs the program, quickly outputs the text and the window closes.
What am I doing wrong, and how do I get the output displayed as a web
page?
I'm really banging my head against the wall on this one, and would really
appreciate any help...
Regards
Tom Pinder
