You can bypass the use of the line #! if you follow our PERL installation guide. The use of this line is needed on UNIX systems only.

You intend to use SSI (Server Side Includes) which are not supported by the current release of Abyss Web Server.

When you say "bypass the use of this line", do you mean delete it from the beginning of the script, or that just setting the server's configuration to allow windows registry to look for perl will bypass it automatically?

Another question....if you install a script with the .cgi extension in the cgi-bin, and have perl installed, do you need to enter "cgi" as well as "pl" in the associated extensions? Do you change the script's extension to .pl or can you leave it as .cgi ?

Also, if you install the latest version of "Active Perl", you will have several different 'perl.exe' files in your "C:\Perl\bin" folder. Which one do you want to place the path to?

Finally, my script asks me to edit the URL of some images as well as the "Real Path" to a text file. By "real path", does it mean something like C:\Program Files\**\** or C:/Program Files/**/** (or am I completely wrong with both)? And since my IP changes dynamically, can I use a domain like DNS2GO as the URL to these image files...or do I have to use my IP address?
