Newbie Question

[Ian Ollier]

Hi all,   I hope you guys will forgive this question, but I am a complete beginner with CGI etc.   We run an NT Server using Apache Web Server and I want to run Perl scripts on our web site to handle our administration forms.   I loaded the Activeperl software onto the server, but it still doesn't run perl scripts. I have read heaps of stuff (most confusing) I have made changes to the httpd.conf file as outlined in some documents I read but then the service won't restart. I read a lot about the MOD-PERL but very little about what it is and how it works, is this my problem?   Is anyone willing to tell me in <SIMPLE> terms what i have to do to get this thing working?   I think you all for any help you can provide.   And again I apologise for bringing such a lame question to the list.   Thanks again   Ian ***** Ian Ollier - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Systems Administrator Queensland Centre for Schizophrenia Research Wolston Park Hospital, Wolston Park Road Wacol QLD 4076 AUSTRALIA ph: +61 7 3271 8592 fax: +61 7 3271 8567 mobile: 0411145593 website: http://www.qcsr.uq.edu.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Any opinions herein are my own and do not necessarily reflect my employer's views. *****
