I am now learning cgi with perl and need to set my PC up so I can run the scripts off line.
I activated IIS on my computer. I then downloaded and installed ActivePerl. I am able to run and debug my scripts at the DOS prompt. But I can't get the file to run properly. At the Campus class room they work fine. On my pc there was not a cgi-bin folder created when I installed IIS. The cgi-bin folder I created is not recongized. My files run fine on the Campus PCs and online. I am using "localhost" in the URL and all is coded correctly. I have also went into the "Folder options" set up and associated .cgi with perl.exe. What else do I need to do?

Thank you,
Samatha

Thanks for your responce nkrgupta. I have learnt how to go into computer management on my pc and change/setup cgi-bin properties. I can now run cgi scripts from my "localhost" hard drive.
