Perl on XAMPP

[Sharley]

You asked to get your cgi working not code issues which you have added to this topic.

I gave you a solution to get the full cgi working.

Does this test script in the cgi-bin of XAMPP 1.7.2 work?:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv.pl
It should print your Windows environment variables.

If so then there is nothing wrong with your cgi-bin or the Perl installation but rather your inability to understand the code you are trying to write.
