WampServer

I've tried and tried. I cannot seem to get the .PL files to work correctly. Now, on the other hand, .CGI files work wonderfuly. The .PL files just want to download.

I've tried:

AddHandler cgi-script cgi
AddHandler cgi-script pl
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .script
AddHandler send-as-is asis

and...

AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .script
AddHandler send-as-is asis

Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem too.

A hello world .cgi works, but a
hello world .pl does not :-(

I figured it out....

It's an Internet Explorer 7 thing.

I have 2 PC's one runs XP w/ IE6 and the other has Vista with IE7.
On the Vista machine with IE7, the .PL file wants to be downloaded as a file.
On the XP machine w/ IE6 displayes the .PL file correctly.

Wierd isn't it?

I think most of us did that already or we wouldn't have asked.

I concure!!!

I had not updated my IE explorer on my XP laptop and it works OK. My desk XP with IE7 is not working; it wants to download all .pl files. I even tried adding third party Perl 5 and it continues the bad behavior :-(
