Hi all ,

I'm attempting to run perl CGI scripts on a Win2K3 machine using IIS 6.0 & Strawberry-perl. Having now struggled thro' configuring IIS appropriately, attempting to browse my script results in a 'CGI Timeout ...' error. In an attempt to debug it, I've replaced my script with the code : 

map { print "$_ => $ENV{$_}\n" } keys(%ENV);

[download]
... the problem persists (when run from CLI, this takes an almost infintesimally small time to run).

I've googled for 'CGI Timeout' & IIS - the majority of hits concern timeouts when loading pages/CGI scripts containing/generating a large amount of forms - as you'll see from the above, this simply isn't the case.

Have any of you good monks any suggestions as to my next step ... short of using LAMP of course :-))

At last, a user level that best describes my experience :-))

In reply to IIS & perl - are they compatible ? by Bloodnok
