Subject: Re: SAS/IIS/Win NT 2.0/Perl CGI Script
Faith,
Thanks for the reply.
Here's what's happening.. now let me see.
I downloaded from hip the latest and greatest Perl5 (110-i86.zip) and ran
the Install.BAT
which automatically associated .pl with c:\perl5\bin\perlIIS.DLL in the WIn
NT 4 Registry.
I run in houses.html with the line
<FORM ACTION="http://old_one/scripts/sas_process.pl" METHOD=POST>
In my sas_process.pl, I now have specified
# This is the directory SAS will write its temporary files to; must
# be writable by the web server's userid.
$HOME = "c:/temp";
# This is the directory that contains the .SAS files to run.
$PROGROOT="c:/httpd/htdocs/SAS-process";
# This is the full path name of the SAS System.
# $SAS611="c:/sas";
# I used the above line, but this Web server point to another server where
sas runs
# so lets see if the next line does the trick?
# Drive P is simply the drive on the OTHER server that this NT server
points to run SAS
$SAS611="p:/CASES/SAS611/SAS";
And then I uncomment these lines at end of sas_process.pl
# ok commenting these out
#unlink("$HOME/$pname.sas");
#unlink("$HOME/$pname.log");
#unlink("$HOME/$pname.lst");
I fire up Netscape 3.0, navigate to my server houses.html page, and click
on Submit, and get
a reply with a Navigator messagebox "You have starter to download a file
of type application/x-perl Click More Info to learn how to extend
Navigator's capabilities"
If I click on ok, it wants me to save sas_process.pl
Duh?
Why does Navigator want me to download the file? I want to execute it, not
download it.
