Hello,
I just subscribed to this list today hoping I might find someone who could
help me over some of my initial hurdles with learning to work with Perl and cgi-
scripts. All I know about the subject I learned today in browsing the web, and
I'm finding that all of the sites I go to assume a certain level of knowledge.
Or else they say to ask my system or website administrator, which is very
helpful since that is me! Even the archives of this mailing list are way over
my head.
I am in a small public library and we have our own webserver running Windows NT
and IIS. I downloaded and installed active Perl (what's the difference between
active Perl and regular Perl??) in the d:\perl directory on our server. The
root of our webserver is at d:\website\extranet and I have created a cgi-bin
directory under that.
I'm not sure what else I need to do to get perl to work on our website. Also,
we had an older version of perl installed at d:\website\perl by a previous
administrator, and I'm not sure if there is going to be some kind of a conflict
between the two.
I need to learn how to get perl activated and working. Once that is done I can
proceed on my own to learn how to write and edit scripts. Is there someone else
out there who be interested in a bit of hand-holding today while I get this
going?
