I am very new to CGI programming in Perl.

In order to learn it i installed xampp 2 days back. But I am unable to execute my perl code . The code goes as folows:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
$co = new CGI;
print $co->header,
$co->start_html(title=>'CGI Example'),
$co->center($co->hi('Subhayan welcome to CGI')),
$co->end_html;

Have saved the code in a text file named : Subhayan1.cgi and kept it in the folder cgi-bin under xampp folder in C drive.

When i try to execute this through my web browser typing : "http://localhost/cgi-bin/Subhayan1.cgi" it comes up with a "Object not found page".

I checked the apache configuration file under : xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf.

I checked the entry : ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/xampp/cgi-bin/"

It looks like pointing to the correct directory.

What is the issue here can anyone help please???
