The interpretor is to use only on Win box, since on Unix you can use the '!#' convetnion. > Additionally, what should go in the Content-Type field?

You need to create the "pl" extension, set the interpreter field, and leave the command blank. Upon indexation, the command will default to the full path of your script. If you want to create on single CgiResource for a given perl script, then you need to feel both "interpreter" and "command" (although, the default command value may feet your needs). Anselm.
