I'm not a technical expert, but would like to think I can tackle this task. Has anyone implemented this on a Win32 system, and if so, did you use the Active Perl install? Does the ActivePerl install have all of the needed mods required for this? Lastly, do I have to install an ISAPI filter thru the IIS MMC, 'cuz right now all I see is the PHP filter listed there.

Thanks, and don't laugh too hard.

I wondered how long it would be before someone wanted to run this on NT

The short answer is, it might work.

The latest Active state ports provide just about all the Unix functions (even fork) so there shouldn't be any problems there. The only thing I know of that Windows doesn't support is the ALRM system calls. I haven't used that so it doesn't matter.

However, you may have problems with some of the modules that are required for the script to run. I know for a fact that Active State doesn't provide binaries for all of them. If you have MSVC 5 or higher you should be able to compile all the modules just as you do for a Unix installation. You just substitute 'make' with 'nmake'.

Good luck and let me know if you have any success

PS. I know nuffink about the PHP/ISAPI stuff so you're on you own there
