Hi ADubey87,

1) you need a web server that you have access to configure and install CGIs

2) you need to configure the web server to run CGI scripts

3) you need to install that script into the CGI file tree of your web server

4) you need to know over which URL you can access the CGI

Depends heavily on the web server you are using.

BTW: PERL and Windows are not a nice fit, assuming you are running IIS web server.

Advise:
- if running IIS, learn aspx concepts
- if running apache on your box, check the apache configuration (CGI section)

In any case: if you stick on PERL, you need to install PERL such that the server can run PERL scripts (under the network user, etc.).

Cheers

Andi
