HI THERE YOU DON'T CHMOD BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A CHMOD ON WINDOWS. IF THEY DON'T WORK IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T CONFIGURED THEM PROPERLY! TRY SEARCHING THE FORUMS FOR CHMOD FOR MORE DETAILS. Oh, and fix that caps lock.

[ivanmiller]

what do you mean configure them properly? they are chmoded at 666 and that dont change, but what can be wrong with this simple test script i uploaded

C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello, world!\n";

If you run Windows, you will not be able to CHMOD. It is that simple. CHMOD is a Unix command that changes the file permissions of a file, because Unix is very strict when it comes to permissions.

If you want to see if your Perl installation works, then make a script that says:

[toothen]

"#!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe "

:| #! is part of Unix shells, not Perl.

[ellada]

#!perl

the above is the correct shebang for windows

[ellada]

also i think that the shebang is not nessecery in Abyss, i have

Resolve interpreter using the Windows Registry: No
Resolve interpreter using the script's #! line: No

and works fine

If you setup Perl support in Abyss Web Server as explained in http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/perl.html , you can remove shebang #! lines as Abyss Web Server will rely on the file name extensions only to know which interpreter to run for .pl or .cgi files.
