Hi,
The problem is, what I'd said in the last mail, you can't start
viewenv.exe direct from the DOS prompt. (Normally the programm
should print HTML source code starting with a line like:
Content-Type: text/html ... - it's a little bit buggy ??).
If you have Netscape meanwhile - try
http://localhost/cgi-bin/viewenv.exe. This should work.

Some further explanations: viewenv.exe is a compiled c-programm
working similiar like a perl script. But it isn't a perl script.

How to setup the perl inerpreter:

- Make sure, that perl.exe (the perl interpreter's executable) is in
  your search path.
- Notice, that the extension for perl scripts is by default *.pl
- If you want to change this or to run perl without a search path entry
  follow this steps:

   0. shut down pi3 server
   1. Change to your PI3WEB directory 
   2. Enter the CONF directory 
   3. Open file CONFIG.PI3 
   4. find line CommandLineByExt .pl="perl %p%q" 
   5. add a line/modify this line to
         CommandLineByExt .cgi="c:\\perl32\\bin\\perl.exe %p%q"
   6. save your changes

The above modifications are an example if your perl interpreter is
installed
at c:\perl32\bin\perl.exe and you want to run scripts with the extension
*.CGI with perl.

I've added a small perl script named GETENV.PL that makes the same
things like
VIEWENV.EXE but you need perl to run it.

Hope this helps.
