in reply to Help installing Perl

Two things need be checked separately:

  • is Perl installed?
  • Is you webserver configured to run Perl when a CGI script is invoked?
You say that the install procedure went on fine. Now, you need to check that the Perl interpreter is in your %PATH%. From the command-line, type 'perl -v' and you should get a welcome message stating the version you're using.

As for the webserver config, well, it depends on the webserver... Apache? IIS? Zeus?

UPDATE: you didn't explicitly say so, but because you write "IE5", I suppose you're using Perl for CGI programming. It might be worth mentionning, for Perl can do an awful lot more...

    You might wish to check out this node if running IIS. The file extension config under this web server is found on the 'Home Directory' tab of the server properties -> Configuration.
