If you’re using Netscape 1.x servers, you must wrap your Perl scripts in batch files. Refer to these Netscape tech notes: http://help.netscape.com/kb/server/960513-3.html http://help.netscape.com/kb/server/960513-125.html The following information is for Netscape FastTrack Server 2.0. Other 2.0 Netscape Servers (Communications, Enterprise) should be similar [? -ESP]. First, read the Netscape documentation. Next, read the technote on Shell CGI (http://help.netscape.com/kb/server/960804-35.html). In order to set up Perl for Win32 to run on FastTrack Server, • Install FastTrack Server, and make sure you can retrieve HTML pages. • Set up a “Shell CGI Directory” to run Perl scripts. A regular CGI Directory will not work — that is only for executable files. You set this up with the FastTrack Administrator; see the documentation for details. You will only be able to access Perl CGI scripts that are in this directory. • Associate Perl scripts with the perl interpreter, if you haven’t already.
