When I attempt to view the shtml page I created I get the following error message:

Failed to execute CGI : Win32 Error Code = 3

What am I doing wrong?
 
I am assuming that you are calling the .cgi using SSI (server side includes).

1. Check the permissions of the .cgi; make sure it is 755

2. If the cgi is returning output; make sure your .cgi is returning a "content-type".

 
Thanks for the help there where 2 things wrong. One was as you mentioned to make sure I have a returning content-type and the second one was the heading needed to be: #!/usr/bin/local/perl
