Install & set-up in win95 PWS

I installed perl 5 build 307 to my Personel Web Server, my perl scripts run fine from the command line, but when trying to run from .htm I get the error "HTTP/1.0 404 Object Not Found", what gives?

My cgi-bin directory has world read/execute access, added the .pl extensions to my registry as you suggested, and reset the default script parameters to <default>, now I am asked where I want to save the .pl file...(?)
I made a cardinal error... forgot to stop and restart the PWS... once I did this every thing works fine, shoulda remembered this from my UNIX days.

Normally you should not assign read to cgi-bin directory.
I know, I'm still off line for now, once I get ready to go on line, all permissions will be reset.

Has anyone been able to get FormMail to work with Blat on a PWS?

Thanks,
Yes, I tried blat and it works fine.  But I wrote my own cgi to sendmail because blat has a lot functions (such as attachment) that I don't need which cause some overhead (temporary file)
