PERL not working - CGI?
 

Hello,

Apache is working fine right now, and I have a test PHP site up.

I want to run a PERL script, however when i use the POST method in an html file, all that is returned is the formmail.pl script in TEXT form on the next page.

I've tried chmod 755 formmail.pl ; not the answer

I dont have a cgi-bin folder either-- Whats up with that?

I've tried installing CPAN using perl -eshell -CPAN

then Bundle::CPAN

it looks like it installed ok.

I'm lost and dont know whats up.

Thanks!

Mike

Create a cgi-bin (are you sure it's not parallel to the current directory? i.e. another sub directory of the parent directory?) and drop the file in there.

fixed
 

turns out my httpd.conf file was pointing to a different directory.

i created a cgi-bin folder and pointed the conf file there.

thanks!!
