I'm using a windows machine and these scripts worked fine, but when I installed ActiveState Perl and tried changing the path to #!C:/perl58/bin/perl5.8.2 (active state perl 5.8), it gave me a Internal Server 500 error?

I also tried using -w, and -wT, but no luck?

Is there any basic newbie mistake I'm doing, such as not configuring something to work with ActiveState Perl?

Thanks,

Anthony

Hey, after getting some help and researching, I found the answer to my problem.

If anyone has this type of situation you can go here and read How do I configure Microsoft IIS 4.0/IIS 5.0 to support ActivePerl?

Basically configuring your mappings/extentsions, you want to add %s %s to the end of the full perl path. :)

Once I did that, the 500 internal error problems went away and scripts seem to be working fine.
