Easy or not so - Perl and Domino Server

Hi,

I have a domino server with perl on it. If I use the command line and run .pl files, they run.

My problem:
I cannot seem to run pl files from webpages. I am using the simple "Hello from ActivePerl!" example pl
Is the following hte correct syntax?
http://<domino server name/cgi-bin/example.pl

I have browsed several forums but no one seems to have an answer. Any tutorial pages on domino to cgi scripting would be a bonus....

Thanks in advance

I have not used a Domino server before, but I am familiar with ActiveState Perl. Is your Domino server set up to be a web server? (Can it serve up a page without using path) The other thing to check is to see if the server in its configuration recognizes .pl as an executable type. When using the command line you are actually running perl.exe. When a web server gets a request for a .pl script it needs to know (via configuration) to start perl.exe and pass to it the script path and name.
