Create cgi-bin

[groovygarden]

Its definitely one of those days...

I need to create a cgi-bin on an NT/IIS server and the only person in my office who knows how to do this is on holiday.

Can anybody help?

Hi

Why do you need this?

[groovygarden]

Because I've written some cgi scripts which process web forms and I need somewhere to put them...

Here you'll find a workaround for Perl scripts on IIS.

Good look

Personally, I use Perl on IIS and it works great for various tasks such as uploading, dynamic content creation, user managed websites etc.

Get the latest from ActiveState.com and it will give you the installer for WinNT. Then after it installs, make sure that in your extension config, you have a line in there for .pl and .cgi, add a virtual dir to your web site called bin, or cgi-bin or whatever, and make sure it can run scripts and executables.
