Thanks I'll try it

Do you know how to stop the script from downloading when ever I try to access it?

I have tried change the links.cfg paths but that doesn't work. I have aloso changed the paths to thay file.

You need to define .pl and .cgi files in the MIME TYPE Manager in IIS. There is a Thread in the Perl/CGI Forum that discusses how to do this.

BTW: On NT, I use the following Perl path (with the current build of Perl installed on the server) in all my executable .pl and .cgi scripts (not template .pl or html.pl files):

Code:
#!\perl5//bin//perl

Also, I would recommend looking at the Microsoft Technet site for additional tips and suggestions for running Perl on Windows NT.
