hi all, I've ran into something rather strange. I installed apache on my windows box, set it up to run some sample Soap::Lite code.I'm lost at this behavior.

so i'd have:
test.pl => client code
demo.cgi => server code

if i run the test.pl from command line(perl test.pl), i'd get the html content of the default page in the directory(index.html). Now if i run test.pl from the browser(http://server/test.pl), i get the expected result("hello word"). Both attempts are ran on the same machine. here's my result: 
c:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\cgi-bin>pe
+rl test.pl
