Question about using CGI script

[marksparro]

I am currently running a website with FrontPage and my boss wanted me to add a sign-up sheet to the page. I found a sign up sheet on the web but I am having trouble getting it to work with my page. Here is a link to the directions on using the script :

How to I get the .cgi files to execute? I add them to my cgi-bin, but they won't execute. Any help will be appreciated.

What server/OS are you running with? I'm guessing it's a windows OS, in which case (I think) you have to register the Perl extension .pl to be recognized by windows as a Perl script to be interpreted by Perl.

More info por favor.

If you are running a Windows server you will also need to download active perl from

as perl is not installed by default with any Windows OS. This will automatically register the .pl extension and register itself with the webserver.
