A quick Google search didn't turn up much for me, so I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. A new client is in the process of transferring their website over to our servers and they have what appears to be a perl script that they need to get working. The script ends with the .plx extension. I've added in .plx as a valid cgi extension, and the path to perl in the script is correct. I'm no perl guru and it's a rather complex script that's a bit beyond my capabilities to troubleshoot. I'm a bit mystified by the .plx extension since I've never seen it before...is there some kind of special module I need to add in to Perl to get it work? Any ideas??

Thanks,

Andrew

Greetings Andrew:

Talk about the old days <smile>.

Yes, it is a valid extension.

Typically that is the extension of Perl when used on Windows servers.

See Page 10 of "Learning Perl on Win32 Systems" as published by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.

Thank you.

I got so caught up in the .plx extension that I neglected to check the basics. No execute permission on the script. :)
