| Frequently Ask Questions - Perl
What version of Perl do you use?
We use Activestate's Perl 5.05.
Where is the path to the Perl binary?
The path is unnecessary under NT system and as a matter of
fact that by calling to the Perl binary at the beginning of a
script will cause the script to fail. Therefore, ensure that
the Perl binary is not called at the beginning of the script
if you have a UNIX script which you are attempting to port to
NT.
Why can't I get my Perl script to work with my NT account?
Please visit the ActiveState reference website at
http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl for more detail.
Where can I get more information on Active Perl for NT?
Put your CGI programs in the 'cgi-shl' directory.
Where is the 'cgi-bin' folder?
We have replaced the naming convention of 'cgi-bin' to 'cgi-shl'.
However, Perl for NT works differently to UNIX versions. Hence
any file with the extension of '.pl' is associated with the
Perl interpreter must be placed within a 'cgi-shl' folder.
How do I run my own CGI programs?
Put your CGI programs in the 'cgi-shl' directory.
