Ok following these instructions. Now if I call a script http://localhost/path/myscript.cgi||.pl It will run the script just likes it is supposed to.
When I call the scripts from a form with this command. <form method="POST" name="Form 1" action="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\cgi\count.cgi"> then the pl file tries to download and the cgi file still displays the source. Where getting closer :) FYI I tried directing this to the cgi list but its seems to be very low traffic. 4 messages in two days. > -----Original Message----- > From: R.
