The cgi-script is in:
d:\apache\htdocs\cgi-bin\
and is named:
ps02.pl
the perlscript is accessed by a html file: testfile.html
which is in d:\apache\htdocs\
and is coded:
<html>
<a href="d:\apache\htdocs\cgi-bin\ps02.pl"> test file </a>
</html>
which should run the perlscript in the browser: ps02.pl
#!d:/apache/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "Hello world!";
the url address at the top reads:
http://localhost/testfile.html before I click on the link
and
http://localhost/d:\apache\htdocs\cgi-bin\ps02.pl
afterwards
( I just tried reversing the slashes / to \ but makes no difference )
Do I simply have the html wrong or something silly like that?
