When trying to run a perl script out of my cgi-bin directory I'm getting the above messages (which one depends on what I put in ACTION entity of my FORM html command). It looks as if the server is not "seeing" my perl script file that is there. Explorer returns "Page cannot be found". Suffice it to say I've configured CGI Parameters as per instructions in this site and that I was running the ordinary "index" file that "pops up" once I go to "localhost" as URL (it's this file that refers to the perl script for it to run once the users "interacts" with this web page and inputs data into the form).

Thanks for your help.

Error 404 means that your script redirects to an inextistant page/script.
Error 500 means that your CGI script sends wrong headers/does something illegal.
So please check why both error messages occured using the above explanation.

Okay, I have used Perl with PWS in the past withou a problem, but experiencing difficulties here. Reinstalled ActivePerl just in case, tried 2 different Aliases for cgi-bin, cgi-bin and /cgi-bin, not sure what the problem is, appreciate any suggestions

Your script is not CGI conformant. In fact, it doesn't send a CGI header.
Change it as follows:
Code:

print "Status: 200 OK";
print "";
print "<HTML>";
print "<TITLE></TITLE>";
print "<BODY>";
print "<P>Hello from ActivePerl!";
print "</HTML>";

We recommend also reading the CGI spec (you'll find the link in the Abyss Web Server documentation) if you intend to write your scripts without using a CGI library.
