Perl is located in C:\PERL\BIN
Apache is located in C:\PROGRAM FILES\APACHE GROUP\APACHE\

Try this:
Go into View File Types and set up .pl and .cgi files to run the application Perl.
Also, try this putting this **test.pl** perl script in cgi-bin and running it, to ensure this isn’t an issue of a script errors:
```auto
#!C:\PERL\BIN\perl.exe
print "Content-type: text/html
";
print "
";
print "Perl Test";
print "bang!
test test";
```

Ahhh… your example worked. Wonder why mine aren’t. :-/

**DOH!** I figured it out.
My PERL headers were
#!C:\PERL\BIN
Fixed. 🙂 Thanks, Bill!

No problem. 1% of the first years revenues oughta cover it.

New problem…
The scripts are running fine for me, but when anyone other than myself (on a different machine) tries to access the server via [http://199.111.227.172/](http://199.111.227.172/) (or run, for example, [http://199.111.227.172/cgi-bin/test.pl](http://199.111.227.172/cgi-bin/test.pl), they get this message:
**Cannot find server**
The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.
Suggestions?

Check your server’s IP address. I suspect that might be your local connection’s IP address (or a local network IP address if you have a router and a local network set up), not your internet IP address.

That’s the only IP address I can find… where would I look?
ipconfig:
Connection-specific DNS suffix: Virginia.EDU
IP Address: 199.111.227.172
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
Default Gateway: 199.111.224.1

I see it’s a university network? Chances are you’re connected to their network which in turn provides a connection to the internet, yes? They may have a firewall in place that prevents outside connections. contact the university’s IT people; perhaps they can provide a solution, like a different IP address for you to use, or something.

A traceroute gives:

So, the IP address is resolving, but there’s no web content at that address.

Ooo…I had a thought. If you have a username on the university network, try affixing /~_username_ after the IP address. It’s a long shot, but hey.

In my config, or in the browser URL? For me, doing this in the browser URL results in a 404 not found.
