Perl & Windows 2000

Hi All,

How do I determine the path to Perl on a Windows 2000 server? My hosting
company has installed ActiveState Perl (latest version).

I've called them and they said the path to perl is E:\Perl, however when I
enter this into my .cgi file, it spits an error back at me.

Any ideas?

Then you know that they didn't put perl.exe in the root. :)

What you actually need to know is the path to the Perl compiler. For
instance you could try:

E:/Perl/bin/perl

(No reason to bother about Window's backslashes in Perl programs.)

Or else you'd better call them again.

Hi! I've installed Oracle 9.2 on a windows 2000 machine. The apache server it has set up uses an old version of Perl. I have a newer version installed on the machine with a bunch of libraries I would like to use. What do I need to change in order to use the newer version of perl and it's libraries? Thanks in advance!!
