Re: [new2perl] apacheCgiPerl [In reply to]	Can't Post

Well, your problem should be right here:
"The system cannot find the path specified"

The favicon error can be ignored.

It's probably one of these options
1. Your script tries to open a directory or file that can't be found.
2. The file might not exist
3. The alias for your cgi-bin directory is wrong
4. You might have typed the wrong url.

I think it's option 4:
As I can see you tried to reach it 4 different ways:
1. prueba.cgi
2. C:/Servidor/cgi-bin/prueba.cgi
3. C:/Servidor/cgi-bin/prueba.pl
4. prueba.pl

1 and 4 look up pruaba.cgi in the main serverdirectory (htdocs)
2 and 3 won't work, (I don't know what you typed: "localhost/c:/Serveridor/cgi-bin/prueaba.cgi"?)

I think "http://localhost/cgi-bin/prueba.cgi" would be the correct url.

Looks like you have the path to Perl wrong in the shebang line at the top of prueba.cgi.

What happens if you run it from the command line?
