Perl Problems

["Kashyap Software Solutions" <kss_ns@hotmail.com>]

I dont know what this means :
>You need to be online to access your server, because you can't surf 
your 
>pages thru the server without being online. (Did that make sense?) You 
>can browse your site by accessing whatever files you have on your 
>computer (ie c:\whatever), but the server software will have nothing to 
>do with that. 

But however I solved my own problem by installing Netscape Navigator 
4.04 and keeping IE4 as the default browser.  I use IE4 to browse the 
net and Netscape to browse my localhost. (For the net IE4 is better any 
day!!! This is not the issue here.) I have defined "http://localhost/" 
as the default page in Netscape preferences.

My other problem was to make perl work with PI3Web Server. So following 
these instructions from an another e-mail :
 >>        1) make sure the path to Perl.exe is in the PATH environment
>>        variable. A good way to test this is to invoke the bundled
>>        viewenv.exe program. If you bring up a dos box and type
>>        'perl c:\cgi-bin\acboard.pl' this emulates what the server 
does
>>        (note this is different from 'c:\cgi-bin\acboard.pl' which 
makes
>>        windows use the .pl to find the appropriate program).>>
>>        2) Open the file Conf\Config.pi3 and go down to the section
>>        ...>>        <Object>>>                Name StandardCGI>>        
...

>>        Remove this line, save the file, stop and start the server to

I tried these instructions and ran viewenv from the dos prompt and 
encountered a GPF with the following message :

VIEWENV caused an invalid page fault in
module VIEWENV.EXE at 0137:004015fa.

Still I have not been able to use perl. Can anybody help me?

Some other details you might be interested in :
I use 
Win95 4.00.950 B
IE4 4.04.71.1712.6.  
I use Perl 5.03.
