Run .pl locally?

[Harv]

Hey all,

Anyone have any idea how you can run a .pl file in IE after launching
from VS08?

Meaning... I have an aspx page with a link to a perl page and it
appears we can't execute locally as it spits out the content of the
file rather than rendering a page... I'm assuming this is a security
issue locally... WinXP btw...

Anyone ever had to do this?

I don't want to keep pushing to the server to see if things are
working... would rather work local and see everything as it would
appear when you hit the site...

Thanks

Try a Perl group instead but basically they are a server side technology so
a browser doesn't know what a perl page is. It should be on a web server
with the Perl engine installed. Then the web server will run the script that
will ultimately render HTML to the browser...

You could install a local web server or use something else to do what this
page is doing...
