Re: Error in IIS server for Perl script

<FORM ACTION=\cgi-bin\process.pl METHOD=POST>

URLs, even relative ones, do not use backslashes as path separators. Use slashes instead. Also, attributes in HTML should have their values quoted.

<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/process.pl" METHOD="POST">

PS. Given the way it currently looks I strongly recommend that you run your HTML through a validator such as HTML::Valid.

Yes, it's definitely "should" and not "must". Similarly to `use strict;` in Perl. In both cases, doing that will cause you no harm. You are free not to do that but if (when!) things break, you get to keep both halves.	[reply] [d/l]
