cgi execution

[cpspros]

I have installed xampp on my Debian system. It works fine in all respects, except that I cannot execute .pl scripts. It gives me error 500 Internal Server Error.

Where is Sendmail? Where is perl?

Hi,

for your *.pl Scripts, please check the rights on the File.
Should have chmod 755 and chown nobody:root

Perl is located in /opt/lampp/bin/perl
Sendmail is not included in XAMPP (and never will be)
Please use your System Mailsystem

So long
KriS

What does the cgi-bin folder do?
