[users@httpd] perl
I'm sorry for posting so many times. It's my nature to ask lots of questions.
Everything works the way I want it to on my Apache server except for cgi when serving web pages on WindowsXPPro. When I test my perl program in DOS/Windows9x it doesn't return any errors. When I run my cgi in my browser here's what the browser returns:
Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Error message:
couldn't create child process: 720003: testcgi.pl
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 500
localhost
06/05/04 19:40:35
Apache/2.0.49 (Win32) PHP/4.3.6
And here's the script:
#!/perl/bin/perl.exe
use CGI ':standard';
print header();
print start_html();
for $i (param()) {
print "<b>", $i, "</b>: ", param($i), "<br>\n";
}
print end_html();
I've tried changing "perl.exe" in "#!/perl/bin/perl.exe" to just "perl", "perl5.8.3.exe", & "perl5.8.3". I keep getting the same error message in my browser (Internet Explorer by the way).
There seems to be a configuration issue. Do I have to configure perl? I think everything's set right in httpdconfig. Does anyone have any info on this error? Thanks!

Please add the drive letter before your path. If you have your perl on
drive C, for example, you can change your path to "#!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe".
