How To Turn On .pl files on Apache?

[Purcell, Scott]

Hello,
Rookie here.

Well I installed the Apache Web Server on my local NT box here and it runs.
I have gone through the FAQ's but cannot find out how to turn on .pl files
that are in the cgi-bin directory much less making other cgi-bin
directories.

Could some kind sole please assist me with getting this started.
PS I run activeState perl and it is on my C drive of the local machine where
the Apache server lives.



Thanks,

Scott Purcell
