using perl with apache 1

[dazn]

Hi.

I'm fairly new with apache, and I can't seem to figure out how to get perl to work on it. I have apache running on WinXP (c:\program files\... and so on), and have active perl installed on c:\perl. I have #!/usr/bin/perl as my first line in a test cgi (env.pl that came with active perl). Any suggestions on what I would need to do?

Please don't don't change the shebang line. If you do that it will not on anything but Windows, which then breaks the code's portability.

Apache has the foresight to realise that some may want to run scripts on windows from within Apache, so all you need to do is find the following line in your http.conf file and uncomment it.
