Note also that, unless something has changed in more recent releases from MS, if you attempt to use IIS instead of Apache, path_info() in Perl's CGI won't work.
My (undirected) approach eventually led me to use mod_rewrite and regular apache AliasMatch and ScriptAliasMatch commands. Example: _______________ RewriteEngine on RewriteRule /barcodes/([inosx]?[0-9]+)\.js /cgi-bin/barcode.pl?$1 [E=BARCODE:$1] RewriteRule /names/([A-z]+)\.js /cgi-bin/name.pl?$1 [E=BARCODE:$1] AliasMatch ^.*/images/(.*) /var/apache/htdocs/my_app_1/images/$1 AliasMatch ^.*/css/(.*) /var/apache/htdocs/my_app_1/css/$1 ScriptAliasMatch ^.*/cgi-bin/(.*) /var/apache/htdocs/my_app_1/cgi-bin/$1 _______________ The bracketed parts at the back end just set the environmental variable "BARCODE", strictly optional. --joe
