For the past two months I've been running Links 2.0 under a linux based web provider without problems, but am now in the process of transferring my entire site to my home WinNT system. I run NT 4.0/IIS 4.0, and have ActiveState's ActivePerl installed and correctly mapped in IIS setup.
All Threads files have had the location of Perl correctly changed, all .cgi files now point at the full path of LINKS.CFG. I've changed all the file names to .pl extensions, and replaced all references to .cgi files in the scripts with .pl extensions. Directory permissions, as far as I'm aware, are set up correctly as well.
The problem is that whenever I point a browser at a Links .pl file, it tries to download the .pl file instead of execute it. This isn't a setup problem with IIS/ActivePerl--I have other scripts installed that function just fine, such as my site management bundle. I'm absolutely positive this is an setup error of some kind on my part... my experience with Links these past two months has been nothing but wonderful.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
