preventing perl scripts from being downloadable

slowJoe22

hi all,

im writing a perl script that gets called from my webpage. the script resides on my windows/IIS server but evertime it runs, it asks the user if they would like to download it. the whole point of the script is to hide these internal workings from the users. how do i prevent the popup from occurring?

cheers,

joe

It sounds like your Windows/IIS Server isn't properly configured to run the Perl script. Check into your configuration some more.

When IIS is configured to run the Perl script, the Perl program will run in IIS, and it won't pop up asking the user to download it.

More specifically, the web server is not properly setup to server perl scripts as CGI. You may want to examine your configuration as previously suggested.
