ActiveState Perl 5.6.1.628 Released

FYI for those interested:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/

5.6.1.629 is now released

I installed mysql, apache, php (all seperately, not any of those all in one packages), but could never get perl working correctly.

still doesn't work

make sure your path is right (first line of a cgi/perl program) if u installed activestate on win32 for a server.

Um, you don't need a path...

On Apache you do, unless you're using 1.3.20.

True. On IIS/PWS you generally don't.

Umm, on IIS/PWS you definately don't.

Just a thought

okay..umm..realising that my paths weren't correct all along (DOH!).. few more questions please

In win2k/xp, does perl need to be running as a service? (dont think so, but making sure)

How would I do permissions on the files?
The only options in win2k/xp are read-only, hidden, archive.
(btw, I foolishly ain't running NTFS if that does anything for perms)

oh and btw, its at 629 now

ok, I went and read over the faqs and did pretty much everything right..but when I call the script from the browser, it returns error 403

so obviously I'm not doing something right lol

You need to set permissions within IIS...

I run an Apache personal server with Activestate perl on it, php, mysql, and some other stuff I use to dev on. It requires a path. k?

Nope, Perl doesn't run as a service.

You'll need to change your filesystem to NTFS for the "extended" permission settings.
But, it isn't required.

Just "upgraded" and everything seems to be in order.

So far, so good...
