in thread XAMPP and Perl

Checking the config file is a good start. Another place would be the defaults, usually found by executing the main executable with a -v option (win32 might call it /verbose or somesuch). Documentation is a third place. Apache's is unusually good.
My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    I found this in the XAMPP control panel:

    PERL 5.8.8
    Apache module: PERL/2.0.3
    Extensions: .pl
    Document root: \htdocs\modperl\
    Configuration files: \apache\conf\perl.conf + \apache\conf\startup.pl


    Extensions: .cgi
    Document root: \cgi-bin\
    Configuration files: \apache\conf\httpd.conf

    So maybe create a CGI-bin folder there and try it?

    Apache configuration files and documentation had no info regarding this.
