I have been trying to run a simple perl-cgi script on windows 7. This is a
simple HTML form with an OK button where clicking on OK button displays some
text. But clicking the OK button on the HTML page, instead of executing and
displaying perl file's output, the browser starts downloading the script. I
have added handler in httpd.confAddHandler cgi-script .plBut this doesn't help.
I added the ExecCGI option in the httpd.conf but that didn't help
either.<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>Here is the perl script being used:#!C:\Perl\bin\perl
use CGI;
print "Content-type: text/plain","\n\n";
print "<html>","\n";
print "<head>\n\t<title>Server Information Ready</title>\n</head>","\n";
print "<body>","\n";
print "<h1>Server Information</h1>","\n";
print "</body></html>","\n";And here is the html file:<html>
<head><title>Server Information</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#EEAA55">
<h3>Please click OK to get the server information</h3>
<hr><pre>
<form action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/ctest/pranav1a.pl"; method="post">
<input type="submit" value="OK">
</form>
</hr></pre>
</body>
</html>I have tried this on chrome, IE and Mozilla. Mozilla and chrome start
the perl file download, but IE just displays some weird content on clicking the
OK button. How can I make the browser display output of file execution rather
than starting the script download ?PS: I have tried to use shebang line as
'#!c:/Perl/bin/perl' which doesn't seem to work either. I am able to see the
perl script's output when executed from cmd prompt.
