.pl vs .cgi

.pl vs .cgi
My server doesn't recognize .pl files; usually I can just change the file names from .pl to .cgi. Is that possible with the .pl files in MysqlMan? Do I need to do anything else?

Hi,

The only file you should be executing is mysql.cgi

From what I know, the .pl files in MysqlMan will not be executed.

In short, just leave all of the extensions alone, they should work.

Hope that helps :)

Let me guess, you've got an NT server.

Boy, this world would be much better off without NT web servers.

You just need to associate .pl with Perl. Here is your answer:

Ack, no! Follow those instructions but associate .cgi with perl. =)

Cheers,

Correct, most Active State Perl installs get the .pl working by default, and we only need to add .cgi extenstions to it.
