Hi,

Can i access a .pl file over the web browser...

I tried one and i got a File...Open Save dialog...

But can we put the .pl file on the server and try to access it over the browser...????

And then will it display the result.....text on the web browser...

You can run the .pl file just like the .cgi file. It's the same thing, just a different extension. Some servers only allow one or the other.
