Question : cgi-bin perl

installed activeperl 5.10.0 in windows

where can store the .pl files
where can run .pl files

do need a cgi-bin folder?

Answer : cgi-bin perl

Its simple.

1) Install wamp, take the defaults on everything, that installs under C:\wamp
2) Install ActivePerl, take the defaults on everything, that installs under C:\Perl directory (Perl exe will be c:\perl\bin\perl.exe)
3) Add the test.pl script I told you under c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.11\cgi-bin\test.pl
4) Make sure to start wamp from the system tray wamp menu. Make sure IIS or no other web server is running.
5) Verify you can browse the home page, it will say "WampServer Homepage", if you cannot, return to step 4.
6) Browse http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.pl

It works. I've tried it, these exact steps. So try it exactly.
