How to set up cgi-bin in apache on windoes 7

nadarajan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I have downloaded XAMPP from apache site and installed on my Windows 7 machine. Now I want to create a folder, say MyPerlWebsites, and put all my different cgi scripts and run as localhost. I searched on Google and elsewhere and couldn't find how to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

By default, XAMPP installs a read-me (en or de).txt in its default dir structure, along with a cgi-bin dir (and two sample .cgi scripts). The read-me appears to assume you've read (or will read) the FAQS at http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xampp.html. Neither is a shining example of the world's finest documentation but both are places to look for your answer. You may wish to follow up by using Google to search for 'xampp tutorial.' The response includes offers a plethora of links.	[reply]
