I am trying to get a cgi perl script to run on my IIS6 web server. i have installed the latest version of active perl, and set the extensions to allowed. i have also configured the virtual directory that links to the cgi script to be able to execute the script. when i try to run the script, i get a 404 error. any ideas?

oh, i cant get php to work either.

    A WAMP setup would be better, probably.
    Windows + Apache + MySQL + PHP/Perl/Python. You'll probably find a lot more people able/willing to help with issues too.

    the thing is, i have it working in apache, but i dont know how to use apache. so i want to get the scripts to run in IIS since thats what i'm already using. there must be something i'm missing in the setup.

    yea, i found some documentation, but it didn't help much. i'll do some more hunting today.

    edit:
    oh cripes. i was missing something. when active perl installs, it sets up the extension for the scripts to be .pl. i had to set it to use .cgi also. DUH...
