Hi ! All

We have installed IIS 5.0 on windows 2000 server. I have index.pl(perlscript) file on that webserver. How to configure IIS 5.0 to work perlscript on web ? Do I need to install perl on that server ?

Hi,

I have installed IIS 5.0 on windows 2000 server. After that I have installed Activestate distribution from

http://www.activestate.com.I

am trying to get data from MS SQL SERVER on web using perl script.Now, my web server gives me following error :

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:


Can't locate loadable object for module DBI in @INC (@INC contains: D:/Perl/lib D:/Perl/site/lib . c:\InetPub\myttmtech\Admin1) at D:/Perl/site/lib/DBI.pm line 182
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at D:/Perl/site/lib/DBI.pm line 182.
Compilation failed in require at c:\InetPub\myttmtech\Admin1/ttmtech.pm line 4.

Compilation failed in require at C:\inetpub\myttmtech\admin1\index.pl line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\inetpub\myttmtech\admin1\index.pl line 6.

What I have to install on web server ? where can I get DBI.PM module ?

Thanks,

The error says that you already have DBI.pm - it is line 182 of that module that is failing. It is, however, incorrectly installed. Did you use a proper installer or just copy the file into place? "As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn't as
easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered.

from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs."
