A few questions.....

I am learning CGI....and starting from scratch....so please bear with me..

I am trying to install a Graphical counter. It consists of 3 files + the .gifs... the ipdata, counter and script plus the graphical digits. I have put the script and 2 complimentary files in the cgi-bin directory. The graphics directory is put in the /htdocs directory so the physical directory looks like this...

C:\program files\abyss web server\htdocs\digits\........gif

perl is installed to C:\perl\

I have entered this line in the html code...

<!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/vipcounter.pl"-->

the instructions request to make some changes to the script and here is where I have some problems.....

what the action or shebang line should be?
my guess- "#!/usr/local/bin/perl"

what is my root url??

my Guess- "http://localhost/

what is the extention of digits image files??

my guess - "localhost/digits/"

I have read every post here and tried every suggestion.... to no avail...

the cloesest I have gotten is to see the counter.....but not count...and not be able to change the images....lol

Thanks....I hope my explanation is thorough enough...

You should use <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/vipcounter.pl"--> instead.

If you install Perl by following our guidelines at http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/perl.html , you can ignore that line. Don't change it.

OK.

A file extension is .gif for example. But we don't really understand that last question???
