Hello,

This is probably a stupid question, but i am running NT with Perl5. I can run .pl in the cgi-bin directory but can't run anything with .cgi extension. Can someone help me with this. I am noting running Apache. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
It has been a while since I setup any kind of M$ server, but if memory serves correctly, you need to go to the Application Configuration window, go to the Mappings, and it will show all extensions and their associated program.....

If .cgi is not there, you can add it and copy the same info that you have for the .pl extension, i.e. the path to perl.exe.....

If this doesn't fix it, you may want to check out the Microsoft IIS forum on here, they could probably help you out more...

Jim
