Re: Setting up Perl/CGI with Windows

Good tutorial, Ovid!

I'd just like to point you to http://www.apachefriends.org/index-en.html where you can download WAMPP, a package of Apache, MySql, Perl and PHP and sometimes PhpMyAdmin, OpenSSL, mod_perl and much more for Win32. The installation process is well documented, and both in english or german. There also exists LAMPP, about the same for Linux. But I haven't yet tried it.

Best regards,

Either you don't send a content-type, or you don't send it as the first output. Does the following code work? `#! /usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use CGI; use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser); my $cgi = CGI->new(); print $cgi->header(), $cgi->start_html('Testpage'); print $cgi->h1('Testpage'); print $cgi->end_html();` [download] Best regards, perl -e "s>>F>e=>y)\martinF)stronat)=>print,print v8.8.8.32.11.32"	[reply] [d/l]
