FYI there are two identical scripts. count.pl and count.cgi.

No. If enter the script into the browser window as follows then
it runs.
http://mymachine/test/cgi/count.pl
If I enter the script into the browser window as follows then it
displays my source.
http://mymachine/test/cgi/count.cgi
If I call the same script from a form with this command either
with or without the ?whatever
then it tries to download.
form method="POST" name="Form 1"
action="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\cgi\count.pl?whatever">
> if the script has a .cgi extension, the source code of the script is
> displayed even with the '?whatever' portion append at the end
Yes. If I call the script with this command with or without the
?whatever it simply displays my source code.
form method="POST" name="Form 1"
action="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\cgi\count.cgi?whatever">
> if you run your scripts in a DOS windows with just its name like:
> c:\whatever>your_script.pl
This runs the script just fine.
> c:\whatever>your_script.cgi
Does not run my script.
