I installed Abyss on Windows XP and everything is working fine except when I call a .cgi or .pl script from my website it wants to download the script instead of executing it. I have checked and double checked the line endings and they are fine. What should the path be if I used the default locations on all installations? C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe is my perl directory. The script is for an order form that displays the customer info when it executes.

you need to access your server console and enable cgi
so your webserver understands that those cgi files need to be
processed and not downloaded.

Refer to http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/perl.html . You should also associate "cgi" extension with the Perl interpreter (as you did with "pl".)
