Perl & Windows 2000

[Justin Kozuch]

Hi All,

How do I determine the path to Perl on a Windows 2000 server? My hosting
company has installed ActiveState Perl (latest version).

I've called them and they said the path to perl is E:\Perl, however when I
enter this into my .cgi file, it spits an error back at me.

Any ideas?

Then you know that they didn't put perl.exe in the root.

What you actually need to know is the path to the Perl compiler. For
instance you could try:

E:/Perl/bin/perl

(No reason to bother about Window's backslashes in Perl programs.)

Or else you'd better call them again.
