What is the Perl path?

The path to PERL is '/usr/bin/perl'.

If you are using our old sytle NT hosting, it works differently so the above information is not relevant. Perl was originally developed to run on UNIX based systems and although it runs fine on NT, there are some changes that are needed. A good site to get information from is http://www.activestate.com. LCN is using the latest version of Active State Perl.

All Perl files need to have the extension .pl before they will run on the NT servers. They also need to be in your cgi-bin directory.
