For my 2 cents unistall sambar and perl and start again. Install sambar to C:\sambar and perl to C:\perl I also seem to remember that some win builds need a bat file in the C:\directory or something to make it work correctly. Then run the envir.pl to make sure its all working. Once it is move most of those pl's out of the cgi-bin for security. Better yet read the sambar docs on security and running cgi's for a better idea of what you are up against.
