Hi, I had a suggestion for a better place for XAMPP to install Perl. I am sure this has been suggested before but C:/usr/bin/perl is the better idea than C:/xampp/perl. I personally created a usr in C:/ folder and moved my perl folder from C:/xampp/perl to C:/usr and it helped me a lot.
In Perl/CGI, you have to do
- Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/perl
for Linux and most other servers on the web, so what you would have to do with XAMPP is
- Code: Select all
#!/xampp/perl
which makes things a whole lot harder when you're using XAMPP for testing code on your home computer just to upload it to your actual web server later as I do.
Just a suggestion, maybe even make an option for "Advanced" installation so you can define where you want Perl and other mods installed. I personally think all but Perl's location is fine, but I would hope that will be a future option.
Thanks for your time,
