Re: Testing Perl Locally?

Progress. Now I've got Apache running too locally with Windows XP
Home. It shows web pages successfully, but responds to .pl and .cgi
calls with "There is an internal error..."

I believe your httpd.conf configuration will be most useful to me. If
you can get hold of it, or if you tell me where to find information
about how to tweak the file, I'll be most grateful. (I feel that I'm
so close to, and yet so far from getting this thing to work.)
