Wubs the SERVER!!

[VspecGTR3]

i know when you on a unix server u put #! path/to/perl on top of script but what is your serer is on windows how would u do that?

AFAIK (and I stand to be corrected) on a windows box its down to the file associations.

I'm testing perl scripts on WinXP, running Xitami WS, and I don't have a directory even remotely resembling usr/bin/perl, but it works

Once Perl is correctly installed on Win(whatever) the file associations take over - IIS, now that could be a different matter

so on your script u include it (usr/bin/perl) not by force of habbit?

Hi guys,

If you are using Apache, it all depends on the following line:

ScriptInterpreterSource registry

If this line is commented, then you need to use the actual path that perl is installed to the same as you do on a *nix box.

If that line is uncommented, then the registry handles the paths and you don't need the shebang line at all.

Hope this helps Wullie
