Synopsis: Can't get Perl to work

State-Changed-From-To: open-feedback
State-Changed-By: pcs
State-Changed-When: Mon Dec  1 07:19:09 PST 1997
State-Changed-Why:
Yes, using CGI under Windows is not very well documented.
We'll try and get it better as we move through the
beta program. 

In your case, make sure that your perl CGI program starts
with a line like this:

  #!/bin/perl

where /bin/perl is the path to your perl executable, and
there are no spaces before or after the #! part.

Hopefully later versions of Apache will use the registry
to properly associate file extensions with script
interpreters.
