Apache HTTPD does not include a Perl distribution although some 
third-party bundles include both Perl and Apache HTTPD.


You would also need to configure Apache so it will run the Perl program 
through the perl runtime.



I am getting no response.


If you are getting no response at all, then your problem is unlikely to 
be related to a lack of Perl. That would cause it to return an error 
response.

Perl with Ajax issue

[Matt Zand]

I am making Ajax call to Perl page and try to parse data in perl page and
return results to html page
on my perl page, I have

use strict;
use warnings;
//
use JSON;
use CGI;

my $cgi = CGI->new();
my $string = $cgi->param('sform');
my $json = encode_json( [$string] );
print $cgi->header( -type => 'application/json' );
print $json;
print $string;

I am tesitng this on localhost.

I am getting no response. Should I install Perl on the server or does it
come with Apache package.
