in reply to Setting up Perl/CGI with Windows

Dear Ovid, This was brilliant... I've been tearing out my hair over these first faltering steps of cgi perl stuff... and nobody seemed to be able to explain what "make a perl script executable" means, and people told me to install mod_perl, or to install heaps of stuff like "php" and "mysql" and "phpadmin" before I could get anywhere... thank gawd for the monastery mike rodent
