Re: Not having luck running Perl script

["Robert A. Rawlinson" <rarawlinson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks! I found the correct directory for the perl file. Now however 
when it runs it brings up a window which says I have chosen to open a 
file which is a Perl script and offers to open in an editor instead of 
running the script. I must still have something set wrong. Do you have 
any idea which it could be? I have gone over the faq for cgi scripts and 
I thought I had done all it said.
