How do you install Perl so it can be used with PWS? I'm using active perl from activestate.com.
The version they have for download should install it automatically. You may have to allow 'Execute" on a folder to get the scripts to work.
Problem...
How can I get it to actually execute the scripts? Right now all it is doing is showing the actual script code. I set the folder to Execute, but I think I have to set something else to point to the Perl interpreter. Anyone have an idea?
make sure you have activeperl installed and make this registry edit
in regedit go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\Script Map
then make a new string value and call it ".pl" or ".cgi" or make two of them that contain the following values.
Make the value data to read "C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s"
Of course, if perl is in a different spot then change it.
Ok, thanks. Works good now.
