How do I modify filemanager script to operate on an NT platform using ActiveState. The
#!/usr/local/bin/perl directive from my understanding is for Perl operating on a Unix platform. My ActiveState Perl executable resides in the following
path c:/Perl/bin/perl.exe. What type of code change to filemanager is required? Would it be #!c:/perl/bin/perl.

Thanks,

Linda Corum

Hello Linda:

There is no need to change the path to perl except on UNIX variant machines. If you are using Windows NT it is still neccessary to have a line that starts #!/usr/local/bin/perl. It will be ignored but it is required there. This may sound silly but I do not know of the reason why it is like that. So don't change anything and it will work.

Second, you have to associate the cgi/perl application with ActiveState Perl interpreter. The way you do this is described in the following URL:

http://www.activestate.com/support/faqs/win32/perlwin32faq6.html

Try it out and if you have any more problems, just ask me again.

Hope that helps
