Really struggling with PERL in XAMPP

Postby ravishankar » 18. December 2007 03:00

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.

regards

ravi

apache 2.2.6 and perl

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

   print "Hello!\n";


and there is an error for this program when i save it in the save it in the cgi-bin folder of the xampp.

I m running it on the server using (http://localhost/cgi-bin/hi.pl)

"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 "

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).
