Hmm,

I have winperl and dosperl running as interpreter for my winhttpd 1.4 
under WfW 3.11 and there is following:

WinPerl:    If I call a /cgi-win/script.pl file in my httpd and the .pl 
            extension is associated with my winperl.exe, the httpd create 
            a temp-file like htjshckj.acc(ept), htjshckj.ini and htjshckj.in

            Then the httpd execute the winperl.exe like

            winperl.exe -cgi %temp-path%/htjshckj.ini %pat-to-cgi%/script.pl

            winperl read the htjshckj.ini, read the htjshckj.acc and 
            htjshckj.in and do the job.

            After the Job, the perlscript create the outputfile htjshckj.out
            and close it self...

            The httpd detect the closing of the winperl instance and send the 
            htjshckj.out back to the Web-Client.

DosPerl:    If I call a /cgi-dos/script.pl file in my httpd and the .pl 
            extension is associated with my dosperl.pif, the httpd create 
            a temp-file like htjshckj.acc(ept), htjshckj.bat and htjshckj.in

            First the httpd executer the htjshckj.bat which sets the 
            HTTP-header and then execute the dosperl.pif like

            dosperl.pif %instance% %pat-to-cgi%/script.pl

            dosperl get the env-vars, read the htjshckj.acc and htjshckj.in 
            and do the job.

            After the Job, the perlscript create the outputfile htjshckj.out
            and close it self...

            The httpd detect the closing of the dosperl instance and send the 
            htjshckj.out back to the Web-Client.

Question:   It is possible to use the dosperl to do the job for my httpd ?

            I was programming only singel task but never I have called a 
            program from another program... How does it work ???

            Does the httpd stop working while dosperl is running ???
            I asume yes, but...

Thanks in advance

Michelle

P.S.:       If this works properly, I can use whatever Interpreter I like...
            perl4, perl5, tcl, php(ther is a new version for dos), q-basic, 
            or bash...
