[wplug] perl

Do you mean perl with Apache or something else?

If Apache...

If you just want to run basic perl cgi, edit your httpd.conf and make sure
you have this line.

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

Then you can run .cgi and .pl files.

If you mean mod_perl that will need to be downloaded and compiled in.

Hi all,
Thanks so much for the help at the installfest. Esp Brian for finding and 
installing apache for me, James for showing me the begining of how to use 
it, Paul for the fan and Steve for the pocket screwdriver set(!!!) and 
encouragement.
James you won't believe this, but some of what you taught me stuck. I'm 
amazed!

On to the next question. I can't believe I forgot to get help on this at the

installfest, but anyway...
Now that I've got Apache, I want my perl. (Brian are you out there?) I 
imagine it's on one of my disks - If you could talk me through what you did 
with apache and if this is something similar, that would be so extremely 
good.

Mike, please don't get miffed about this. I really did try to choose every 
option I could see when I did the install. I'm very very new to this, 
though, and wasn't real sure of what I was doing at *any* stage of the 
install. So apparently I didn't do what you suggested, but it wasn't out of 
lack of appreciation for the suggestion and its contents. Since I then 
needed more help, I went to the installfest and was told there was no need 
to do a complete reinstall but that the program I wanted could easily be 
added. These guys were really helpful, so I'm going this route. I certainly 
see the benefits of getting everything all at once, which was my initial 
preference, but I'm seeing advantages of this too - it may give me an op to 
learn my way around a bit more, etc.

Thanks again,
Amy

sometime in May, Mike assaulted the keyboard and produced: (sorry! I just
*had* to cop that one!)
