RE: Outta my tree!
sorry 'bout that, figured the option pack for win95 would contain some iis
for win9x
i still think pws is a bad choice for serveral reasons but i'm known to be
stubborn, if i were you i'd check out apache or even ibm's adaptation of
apache, asp will be a problem though (chiliasp does work nicely i'm told,
costs though)
my best guess, if you stick with pws, is to visit the activestate.com
website and look for some installation documentation wich i'm sure is on it,
even better the documentation is on your hard drive ... check out the html
subdirectory in your perl subdirectory (maybe you allready did ?)
did you allready try reinstalling Perl and installing the perl-isapi dll's ?
good luck,
Joris

Well that wasn't very helpful.
I'm using PWS because IIS doesn't work in Windows 98 but PWS does.
Since ActiveState advertises that it works with PWS then I figured it would
be best to just install the port on my development box rather than install a
brand new server or, worse yet, install a brand new operating system.
I'm just trying to figure out how to use ActiveState perl, that's all. I'm
not so interested in building a new workstation.
