Stu, You don't need mod_perl to run PERL programs with Apache It's not clear what the problem is, but it sounds like you can get PERL programs to run if they are called .cgi but not .pl
If so, try adding this line to httpd.conf AddHandler cgi-script .pl regards John "stu seven" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/02/2002 00:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: questions I am having problems getting Apache to recognize perl files... someone suggested installing mod_perl... 1) Is installing mod_perl necessary to running perl scripts via Apache / webserver ? 2) I saw something in the mod_perl "faqs" about getting a popup save window instead of the perl file running... can I add the PerlSendHeader On to Apache without running mod_perl ? That is what is happening here now... .cgi files run / .pl files give me the save widget. I hope somebody can help with this... I really WOULD like to do some programming with mod_perl too :) _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
