Re^2: XAMPP and Perl

It might be a directory problem... Any way (direct or roundabout) that I can check where the proper directory might be? Since it's a home server, I don't have a cgi-bin file structure... maybe in Apache's httpd.conf?

[dragonchild]

Checking the config file is a good start. Another place would be the defaults, usually found by executing the main executable with a -v option (win32 might call it /verbose or somesuch). Documentation is a third place. Apache's is unusually good.

I found this in the XAMPP control panel:

PERL 5.8.8
Apache module: PERL/2.0.3
Extensions: .pl
Document root: \htdocs\modperl\
Configuration files: \apache\conf\perl.conf + \apache\conf\startup.pl


Extensions: .cgi
Document root: \cgi-bin\
Configuration files: \apache\conf\httpd.conf

So maybe create a CGI-bin folder there and try it?

Apache configuration files and documentation had no info regarding this.
