===================== A c t i v e P e r l ===================== Summary: Configuring Microsoft Personal Web Server 4.0 (available with FrontPage and Windows 98(se)) to run ActivePerl. Manual Configuration for PWS: 1. Manually configuring PWS to run ActivePerl requires editing the registry. Only do this if you are confident you will not mess up your computer. This configuration is *only* necessary if you are running Microsoft's Personal Web Server. If you're not sure, don't do it. Make a reg backup first! 2. In REGEDIT go to HKLMACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\ Services\w3svc\parameters\Script Map 3. Add string values pointing at your Perl executable for each extension you want PWS to recognise as Perl scripts, like so: .pl "C:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe %s %s" .cgi "C:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe %s %s" 4. Don't call us if it doesn't work. Just uninstall PWS and use a real Web server ;-) Source: From instructions on CD 78 -- Active Perl .net magazine March 2001 Also try: FP2000: How to Use Perl with Microsoft Personal Web Server on Windows 95/98 This article pointer was forwarded to you from the Microsoft Online Support site. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q231/9/98.ASP
