PerlEx3 trouble Matt 09-27-2006

hello,

Win2k3/IIS6 all patched and up to date. I've got Perlex3 configured to run.
The sample files run fine, but perl files with CGI extensions don't. I've
created the script map for cgi extensions, but even if I change one of the
sample files from benchmarks.htm to benchmarks.cgi it spits out a bunch of
text with a few errors as follows:

'f:\PERL\eg\PerlEx\benchmarks.cgi' script produced no output String found
where operator expected at f:\PERL\eg\PerlEx\benchmarks.cgi line 6, near
"/title>
(Missing operator before " href="?)

and

(Might be a runaway multi-line "" string starting on line 27)

A file with cgi extension worked on our earlier server is now giving the
error "Script failed to send data." . When I changed it to a .htm file it
just pits out a bunch of text.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks,
Matt

OF COURSE it gives errors. Did you expect that simply changing the filename
would magically change HTML markup into Perl code???

Expecting the Perl interpreter to execute HTML markup.

I knew I would get a good answer here.

Yeah, and *I* knew a good answer would probably be met with sarcasm instead
of the "thank you" it deserves. Rudely top-posted sarcasm, no less.

Some days I wonder why I bother trying to help people at all. Well, at least
I won't be repeating the mistake of trying to help *you*.

*plonk*
