All -
I have been in contact with Ohio State University about the WEBPERL.EXE component of their DECThreads web server. Not only have files moved in the Perl directory tree, but the old version of WEBPERL doesn't support the current CGI.pm (they overrode %ENV to get the CGI environment variables into WEBPERL, and didn't support the "exists" operation). There is a new version of the WEBPERL kit available at http://www.er6.eng.ohio-state.edu/www/preview/webperl3.zip which has been tested through Perl 5.8. The readme says it requires 5.8, but in their correspondence with me they said it has been tested with 5.6.0, and I can vouch for 5.6.1. What you need to do is to put the zip file in your WWW_ROOT and then expand it and read aaareadme.webperl. Note that you now build webperl.exe using WEBPERL_BLD2.COM. This command procedure will actually rummage around in your PERL_ROOT and figure out where the files it needs are. It still asks for confirmation, but unless you've been munging Perl you can probably take the default. It also no longer requires perlshr.opt (which isn't in the kit anymore, and only contained the line "perl_root:[000000]perlshr.exe/share" anyway). Tom Wyant
