<%@ language=PerlScript%> 500 err

[Wayne B]

ActiveState Perl on XP IIS and iis asp.dll using localhost with .asp doc
<%@ language=PerlScript%> produces 500 err <script
language=PerlScript></script> works fine. All other syntax works fine.
Checked FAQ, Docs and searches. All I could find was Permissions set. I
don't think that is the issue. Also apache server shows html but no server
side results.What's up?

Thanks for any help!

Check Apache's error log.

<script language="PerlScript"></script> would be client side unless you
specified runat="Server". If that's the case, then maybe you don't have
PerlScript installed as you think you do. You get no error on the
<script> tag because it's client side, and the server side tag <%@
Language=PerlScript %> blows up...? Could be?

Also, you can turn on more information in your logs through the InetMgr
IIS admin control panel to see exactly why you are failing with a 500
error. Generally, 500 errors are pretty specific in the IIS logs with
the proper information enabled in your IIS config.

Did you try to remove and reinstall AS Perl to make sure you are clean?

I don't think Apache runs the IIS ActiveX server engines. Only IIS.
That could be what's up.

FYI
Ok, reinstall current version of Active Perl did the trick for IIS. The
newest version handles the config in IIS. Apache on the other hand is a mod
add. mod_perl and mod_asp. Less then simple for newbe but managable. I'm
still working on it.
