the only suggestion I can give you is to make sure that the associations is
in fact there. Create a simple "hello world" perl script and save it as
'hi.cgi' (or any name as long as you use cgi as the extension). Then from
the command line type
hi.cgi
Do not put 'perl' in front of it, if the association has been made, the
operating system should recognize this as a perl script and run it through
the perl interpreter. If it doesn't work correctly, the association has not
been established. If it does work correctly, then I would guess is that
there is something within PSW that needs to be set to map the .cgi extension
to perl. I however have no knowledge of PSW and therefore would be of no
help to you there.
