I'm just a tender young altar boy. Trying to get my first cgi script to run. os: win2k server: Xitami console version perl: ActivePerl 5.6.0.616 browser: IE5 code: 
#!C:\Perl\bin

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello World";
#end script

[download]
The shebang line is the path to my perl bin folder. The script runs ok in a dos box. The script name is: hello.pl and is in C:\Xitami\cgi-bin If I point the browser to http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/testcgi it works and shows env. variables. But: If I point browser to: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/hello then I get a default IE5 page saying there was a problem opening this pg. Also tried .../hello.pl. The priests have shaved my head there is no turning back. Please help - it must be simple. Thanks
