Problems

The following things may go wrong:

  1. Configurating the Web Server
    blechtrottel brodaktschns recommends studying the server's documentation. It may be helpful to run simple Perl or CGI scripts ("Hello World!")
  2. Running Perl
    Check your Perl's help and documentation or try running scripts in a DOS box. ActivePerl comes with some simple scripts for testing purposes, all you have to do is add the file extension .pl and change the first line (compare fine tuning. If perl.exe is not part of the PATH environment variable then the first line must include the full path to the exe (this here being our example installation path):
    #!C:\Web\Perl\bin\perl.exe -w

Thanks

We would like to thank Karlheinz Zöchling for tutoring us in Perl.
We also would like to mention the validator pages at www.bjoernsworld.de (in German), which made us deal with this project. Last but not least another thank you goes to the team of the W3C validator for all the work.

Final Tip

An even more detailed howto by David Tibbe with lots of screen shots can be found at SelfHTML aktuell. It is in German only. However, it is the basis for the install_win.html that comes with the validator.
