PERL/PWS DOS window popup problem ...
I have PWS and ActiveState Perl installed and running on my Windows 98 box. However, whenever I execute a Perl script through the browser, a DOS console box appears, then dissappears. The script runs correctly, but obviously, this is very annoying. I've found many references to this problem in this group, but no one seems to have a solution for it. I've gone through the registry settings and file associations routine, and all seems OK, yet the problem persists. Has anyone heard of a solution for this? JeffM

you need to add your DNS settings.. double click on your nertwork icon then double click on your TCP/IP and you will see the DNS Configuration tab Quote:

Hmmm? How is this jeopardy-style advice going to help the poster? His problem is trivial, really. When others browse his website, *they* won't see that DOS box.

Start regedit and open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\Script Map Click Add Value from the Edit menu. The Value Name is .pl The Data type is REG_SZ. The String value is <the full path to perl.exe>\perl.exe %s %s Restart the WWW service. - Eric Jain

Thanks, but this doesn't work for me. I've tried it more than once on the advice of others in this group. Thanks anyway, JeffM Quote:

The only problem is, I'm giving a demo to a customer running the application and PWS on my laptop, so I need this to be resolved. Thanks anyway, JeffM =================

Yes, a part of your setup is wrong, its just a matter of which bit! the fact that the dos window appears would suggest that your machine is associating .pl with perl and running it and the server is not in control or on? Does your script reside in a directory of PWS? and not in a non-PWS directory? Is your cgi-bin executable? Is the registry entry in the right place and of the right value? Are you calling the script through the browser with a url ie http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/wibble.pl Is PWS on and running? sorry if these are basic but it may be one of them or more? I had to reinstall PWS before I could get it up and running, then the same actions resulted in a working PWS, then I got sick of it and installed Apache anyway, far better, HTH Richard H

Try to rename the script to *.plx Quote:

You will want to ask in the group comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows about this. There is a 'knowledge base' article on the microsoft site that describes this but if you ask in that group someone is bound to know. /J\ --
