Using Actinic V8 and having a problem with Path to Perl and Perl Script Extension. Any help would be great.

Question

Hi there, I am using Actinic v8 and having a problem locating the path to Perl. I am getting this message popping up and I just don't know what to do to solve it.

The wizard needs to know where Perl is installed on the web server and what extension Perl scripts must have in order to execute on the remote server. You may need to contact your ISP to gather this information. Be sure to specify the "." on the extension if it is required. For example, ".cgi", or ".pl".

It then gives you an option for 'Path to Perl' and 'Perl Script Extension'

I've not dealt with Perl before so any help would be great.

Cheers

Answer 1

Your ISP knows where and if perl is installed on your server and if the server is configured to require file extensions for CGI scripts. There is no way anyone else can tell for certain.

Answer 2

Hi there thanks for replying, Can you tell me how to use my ISP to find perl and check if it is there? Im new to all of this and just trying to fix this one problem as everything else is perfect.
