Re: Network Programming With Perl example 1

OKAY GUYS!!

I can't get it working on my WinXP system so I converted it to a CGI and uploaded to my linux web host and it DOES work. I sent the perl file to my WinXP friend and it doesn't work for his system either.

Can someone tell me what I have to do to get it to work on Windows? It's important otherwise reading the rest of this book won't do me any good if I can't use it.

If you are using XP sp2, try turning off the firewall while you test this. Also, some anti-virus programs like McAfee also block certain ports such as the smtp port from going out).
