IIS with Perl

Hello,

We've just installed a new server with IIS and Perl.
With the new encarnation of the server, when we run CGI scripts,
"Content-type: text/html" is displayed at the top of every .cgi page.
What have I done wrong here and what do I need to do to correct it?

Many thanks,
Gareth

It looks like the Content-Type header tag is sent directly without an empty
row \r\n before the real HTML document content begins.
How does your CGI set the content-type?
Do you have a sample?

(ps: :Also ask some perl groups).

Hi,

I am uncertain- I didn't actually program the script. All I did was copy
the files from our old server to the new one and assumed it would work in
the same way...
Since the Content-type line was not displayed on the old server I assumed
the new one has a configuration error.
Will find a perl group too!

Thanks,
Gareth

Re: IIS with Perl

Gareth

you may also install perl binaries on the new server and tell IIS how must
handl perl scripts.

Take a look on www.perl.com or www.perl.org
