Active pearl

[minoad4959]

First thing, im an ASP guy. My company has recently moved several websites containing pearl scripts onto my servers. Basically i am at a loss. I installed active pearl onto the server, and have mapped .cgi and .pl to pearl.exe%s%s and pearlis.exe.
Having done this i was under the impression that things would work. nothing could be further from the truth. On one script in particular i continually recieve a 'method not allowed' even though the entire web is set to execute.
I would be indebted to anyone who could see thier way to help me out a bit.
Thanks in advance,

Ok, I can help, I hope. First, the language is Perl, not Pearl, it used to be Pearl, back in its starting days, but not anymore.

Ok, continuing on, since have been running ASP, I assume that you have been running IIS. If so, then you need to check in the configuration files for IIS to see how IIS finds the perl interpreter.

Also, at the top of every CGI script, try adding something like this:

[tt]
#!C:/perl/bin/perl
[/tt]

Where C:/perl/bin/perl is the location of the perl interpreter. This is not normally used on Windows machines, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Can you post the part of the config file that would locate the perl interpreter?

Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Also i need to figure out how to make this message go away:
