Thanks to both of you. I am running the Xitami web server. I didn't
realize that there was a seperate config file for SSI stuff. It works now.
Thanks guys.

rename your .html, .shtml and you're all set. If you can't rename your
.html .shtml (why??) then use .htaccess:
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi filename.html

Subject: Redirect back to calling page
Message-Id: <8vbhud$fqp$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
I have an ASP page designed in FP2000 which calls a Perl script that
sends an email containing some relevant details from the ASP page. The
problem is, I can't get the Perl script to take me back to the page that
called it. I have only been using Perl for a day or two, and am
basically changing lines of code in existing Perl scripts to see what
they do.

I'm not familiar with FP2000, but as a debugging tool to help you figure
out what environment variables exist(maybe you can use), one thing I do
is in the perl script invoke some command which will tell you what
envirmonment variables exist. In Unix and Linux, we can use "set" or
"printenv". If you invoke that command with backticks, you can capture
the output, like this:
@printenv = `printenv`;
Each line of output from command "printenv" will be captured in an
element of array @printenv. Then, when you "print" your screen, you can
just print the contents of array @printenv - then you'll know what
environment variables exist for that script. One that might be useful
to you is HTTP_REFERER, which tells you which URL "refered" to your
script - you might be able to use that to redirect back to.
HTH.

There's thing called AutoExNT, distributed in some service pack.

Maybe check your Max Connections parm in IOSocket...
use SOMAXCONN.

Subject: Digest Administrivia (Last modified: 16 Sep 99)
Message-Id: <null>
Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
| NOTE: The mail to news gateway, and thus the ability to submit articles
| through this service to the newsgroup, has been removed. I do not have
| time to individually vet each article to make sure that someone isn't
| abusing the service, and I no longer have any desire to waste my time
| dealing with the campus admins when some fool complains to them about an
| article that has come through the gateway instead of complaining
| to the source.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
