Hi all!

I try to run "unzip" out of a cgi-script served by Apache under Win NT 4.0 Server.
The same code worked fine with another istallation on Win NT 4.0 (not Server Edition)
Now I always get the"Internal Server error" I try to run my cgi script. The perl interpreter does not say anything while running from dos box.
I checked file permissions and Apache is running as Administrator.
Help would be great!!!

Perl Version 5.005_03

my $file = "bla.zip";
my $command = "p:/tools/wni/unzip.exe $myFile";
unless (defined ($pid = fork)) {
print "No fork:$!\n";
}
unless ($pid) {
exec ($command) or print "exec $command not possible:$!";
exit;
}
waitpid ($pid, 0);



Have a good time...
Georg
