Hi.. Using windows 10, Latest strawberry download, apache 24.

I need help in associating .pl with strawberry. When I try putting localhost/cgi-bin/test.pl in browser I get this error: 

Internal Server Error

+nable to complete your request.

So I go to the error log and this is what is showing: 

[Mon Jun 17 18:04:55.584500 2019] [cgi:error] [pid 12736:tid 1148] (OS
+ 2)The system cannot find the file specified.  : [client ::1:49450] c

+H01223: couldn't spawn child process: C:/mychoo/cgi-bin/test.pl

So I believe I have configured apache correctly as the correct path is C:/mychoo/cgi-bin/test.pl

I think the problem is that .pl is not associated with strawberry.

This is the test file code: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

print "hi NAME\n";

I believe the path line on top should be ignored in windows, but I could be wrong.

Can anyone see what is happening and a resolution to this problem? I really need to get this going before I can continue with perl. One note in the httpd.conf file for php I have this code: 

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
LoadModule php7_module "C:/php7/php7apache2_4.dll"
PHPiniDir "c:/php7"

I think I needed that to associate .php files with php7. Is there some sort of a fix like that??

I tried changing the registry to associate .pl with strawberry but that did not work.

Thanks for any help!

One other thing, there used to be a message board perl guru or something like that. I get an error when I try to open that up now. Has that been disabled?

I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks much!!
