I Am running windows 98 and plan on using the PWS (personal web server) from Microsoft. Its already on my machine and I dont want to take up to much more valuable disk space unless it is neccasary. Do you recomend I not use Microsoft PWS?
Nah, I'm just fond of Apache because, as I said, I can replicate my remote server setup almost exactly. And I'm not fond of Microsoft Internet products, because, well, I find them buggy. It's entirely up to you what you use, everyone's needs differ.

Hmm I just went along with the setup for the activestate perl, clicking next seemed to be the best idea considering I didnt know what I was doing. Should I reinstall?
Lemme put it this way, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
You shouldn't be able to do any harm even if it's configured wrong. But if you find that when you try and follow a link and it pops up in an MS-DOS window, there's your problem. You jusy have to go into Explorer > View > Folder Options > File Types and remove the associations for CGI and PL files. See if it works first.

And lastly using a script what do I use for my path to perl?
Well, I've tried Bobsie's version and it doesn't work on my system for some reason. I use the path to the exectuable Perl file, which in my case is:
#!/perl/bin/perl.exe
I'm not sure how PWS works, just keep trying possible combinations until you get it to work.
Good luck!
