hello everyone !

i have managed to install the xampp 1.6.4 succesfully and have started using it and have even developed my work with it.

But its time for me to use perl with apace.

I was having look at all the information in the website of xampp for the installation of perl.

according to my research to install perl we need to use the version 1.6.0 which culd not find it in the website.

Culd any one please help me on how to proceed with the perl installation in apache.

Ur help is very much appreciated.

ravi

Hi,

I recently read the existence of a patch witch can resolve the problem of apache 2.26 and mod_perl. I wonder if that is applicable with Xampp.

No, whatever you "researched", thats definately wrong. Perl is already part of Xampp (no need to install anything).

It is installed.

Click the following link to find out if your Perl is running:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/perltest.cgi

"Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Error message:
malformed header from script. Bad header=Hello!: hi.pl "

could any one please help me with this. thanks a lot.

I think its a problem with the header in the script. i have tried different combinations but nothing worked.

Correct: in your script, you send no header (Content-Type).
