PERL Question...

[TheJoshMan]

I have xampp installed on my computer and I use it to test PHP, does anyone know how to test PERL scripts on your localhost? I know in the xampp folder it has something which says "PERL", but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my cgi's to run. When I try to run them, it just prints the script to the page rather than executing it.

Do you have active perl installed on your computer? Also, you may have to edit the apache conf file to direct your perl scripts to the perl interpreter. I can go into more detail, but am short on time at the moment.

Hope this helps nonetheless.

yea, i just figured out I had to have ActivePerl so I downloaded it and installed... Now i'm just trying to figure out how to "correctly" point to scripts and such on my harddrive. LOL
