Hmm..
I did as you suggested and got:
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL
manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
localhost

Apache/2.2.9 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8h mod_autoindex_color
PHP/5.2.6
***************
So I don't know. It seems to me that there is one difference between the
files that have succeeded as CGI browser formats in the explore CGI box:
the successful ones are listed as CGI files whereas the ones I tried such as
hello.cgi are still listed as text documents.
Thanks anyway
Any more suggestions and I will try them out.
John

Create the following file and call it hello.cgi
-----------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
print CGI->headers(), "Hello";
------------------
put it in the same directory as perltest.cgi and cgi.cgi, so that if you "go
to
xammp explore and get into the cgi box" there are now three files:
perltest.cgi,
cgi.cgi and hello.cgi.
Then go to: http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.cgi
What happens?
