Re: Help Perl config for NT

Hi, Had the same message myself recently - on Unix, but possibly the same principle. Problem in my case was caused by one of two things - problem in the Perl script itself. Easy to check - does it run OK on the command line? - problem in the environment. Most web stuff run as nobody, who doesn't have too many environment variables set up. Can add environment variables at the start of your Perl script, eg $ENV{INFORMIXDIR} = "/export/home/informix"; I found http://www.cc.ukans.edu/info/cgi/cgi-with-perl.html quite useful.
