PERL Problem Kevin Keast Wed, 1 Mar 2000 23:17:49 -0500

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to get PERL functioning on my Web Server.  I am a newbie to the
web server stuff but know a little about PERL.  What would cause the
following to happen:

I am trying to run a very simple script from my web browser:

#!d:/perl/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print ("Hello There\n");

I am using Microsofts PWS right now and type in the URL:
http://computername/cgi-bin/hello.pl

The computer brings up the dialog box trying to ask if I want to open this
or save to disk?

The file alone works fine under a dos prompt.  I only installed Active PERL.
Is there something I am missing?

Thanks in advance.

Kevin
