How to enable Perl

Perl is enabled by default hence nothing to do

All Perl scripts are placed in folder *\Uniform Server\udrive\cgi-bin

Note 1: *\ Is the path where you installed Uniform Server

For example if you extracted to folder c:\myserver then the root folder is located in:

c:\myserver\Uniform Server\udrive\www

All Perl scripts (pages) must use a .pl extension this informs Apache to route these scripts to the Perl compiler for execution.
