Thanks Jason[/quote]

I sorted out the problem by installing

ActivePerl-5.6.1.638-MSWin32-x86.zip


sorry to have botherd the board.

Did you try using PPM or PPM3? It doesn't work until ActivePerl gets registered in the WinReg.
See the text file in the xampp/perl folder. Those should be the registered strings.
As you did, it's better to install ActivePerl over your XAMPP perl, but find out how to do it over that folder. I have'nt find out how. So I installed another AP in another folder .

Im not sure exactly what you are saying.

I renamed the current perl folder to perlxammp and the installed activeperl into a folder called perl so the path didnt change for anything else I have running.

I'm getting the exact same error when trying to run some cgi scripts.
This is confusing, i have the standard version
XAMPP Windows 1.4.12 (not lite) installed.
And according to the manual "MiniPerl 5.8.3" is installed ?
Is this not enough to run cgi scripts ?
Should i d/l that "Perl 1.4.12" addon from the xampp site or should i go for the "ActivePerl" as the starter of this thread ?
If this is a configuration issue, please someone gimme a hand.

Issue solved, i did as the author of this post and installed the
active perl package, now it works
