Ok, so I've determined that theres something wrong with perl.
When I try to run the test script, it comes up with the code in my browser. Im positive I've done everything right though. I've done all the things in httpd.conf that I read to do, and ive pointed my .pl scripts hashbangs to "c:/perl/bin/perl.exe"
I also dont have a .htaccess file running. Is this the cause, or should I try reinstalling perl or something?
