    Sure it does. There's a domino/cgi-bin (I think that's the right path) directory which will allow you to run things like this. You'll have to associate the .cgi extension with perl just like .pl though. The idea here though is to look in your server document to see where your cgi-bin directory exists and put your scripts there. From there you've got to use Windows' normal file extension association system to get .cgi to mean the same thing as .pl. That isn't a Domino or a Perl thing though - check with your NT admins about that.

    And yes, I assume you're on a Windows machine using the Domino HTTP server. I could be wrong on both points but its a safe guess here. In any case, you'll get better advice if you ask this question on the Notes/Domino 6 Forum than you will here especially as this isn't a perl problem.

    What is the Operating System?

    What is the webserver?

    If Domino's HTTP server is as good as their SMTP serve, you are in trouble.
