I am not quite remember how.. but..

First, install the perl compiler on ur com.

Second, open ur apache config files, from there, u can change something ( i think eliminate the comment line or something..check the word "cgi" within the config file using the search function, and u will see the line require to activate cgi programs, and if im not mistaken, it is disable by default, u need to eliminate the comment line in order to activate it ) and u will be able to run .pl or .cgi ( u need to specify what extension to use, the common one are .pl and .cgi ) from ur web server.

Hope it helps..

You should add these two lines to your httpd.conf:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

And these if you want to use SSI

AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

Just go to the activeperl website and download the perl compiler, and install the compiler, and then change the settings in ur apache config file. Done.
