I use Apache and Windows 98, just to test scripts before uploading them. I was looking at this script the sorts arrays. I put it in the directory and saved it as sort.cgi. Now, when I look at it, it asks me if I want to download it. It's the only CGI script I have that does that....why? I didn't think you could set persmissions in Windows. Also, I unchecked the box that says "ask me everytime", but I want it to ask me everytime, anyway to get that back?

Hi,

Which Perl product are you using? Apache on Windows needs to be configured to know that it has to run perl.exe to execute your program. If you installed ActivePerl, read its docs (it has a very good help file) on how to configure Apache to run perl scripts.
