Hello,

Im a beginner to programming in Perl. Ive already installed IIS and ActivePerl software. IIS works just fine as ive tested it with ASP scripts. However, when I run a basic perl script from localhost in IIS 5.1 (ie. http://localhost/hello.pl-where my virtual scripts directory is c:/inetpub/scripts) but am stuck with the following error:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete s
+et of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
Too late for "-T" option at C:\Inetpub\Scripts\hello.pl line 1.

What does this mean and how do i fix it? Below is the code that ive created in hello.pl:

#!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -wT

use strict;
use cGI ':standard';

print "Content-type: text/html";
print "<html>";
print "<head><title>wow</title></head>";
print "<body>";
print "IIS Perl Interpreter works jus fine";
print "</body>";
print "</html>";

Thank you in advance I hope to hear from you soon! Joe
