  • What is the path to Perl?:

    On NT systems the path is Perl is not required unlike Unix. NT knows to call the Perl Interpreter based on the file extension. The file extension must be either .cgi or .pl

    Some scripts however insist of knowing the path - the path for Perl on NT is

    c:\perl\bin\perl.exe

  • What kind of scripts can I run?:

    Scripts that can run on NT systems can be used. Some scripts may not be written to run on NT systems and will not function without changes to the script.

  • I cannot CHMOD via FTP?:

    On NT you dont need to CHMOD, your scripts will execute correctly.

    However if your scripts are writing to the server, you need to contact us to allow the script to write to the server.
