I am attempting to install apache on my WinXP Home Edition machine, as a means of setting up a server for learning php. So far apache has installed ok, but testing some cgi scripts I get an error "couldn't spawn child process" . Looking at the test scripts the path to the perl executable looks like a unix example (#!/usr/local/bin/perl) which doesn't relate to any directories on my pc. I am trying to find where a Perl executable might be under the apache directories and what path variable to try in the scripts to see if this is the problem. Any clues, or am I way off?
