Topic awaiting preservation: perl on Apache for nt (Page 1 of 1)

I want to learn more about perl, so the first step is to install it on my web server (apache), well i have activeperl installed in c:\perl,
how can make it work with apache?

You have to add the following block to your httpd.conf file

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "d:/path/to/your/cgi-bin/folder"
<Directory "d:/path/to/your/cgi-bin/folder">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

After that modify shebang line in your CGI scripts (that's the first line, starting with #!) to look like this:

#!perl

And last insure that c:\perl\bin folder is added to the PATH environment variable, or you'll have to write full path in the shebang line, like this:

#!c:/perl/bin/perl
