Have you run the install.pl script successfully?  This is what creates the database tables, and creates the codestriker.pl script.

From the Codestriker manual:

At the time of writing, the current version of ActivePerl (5.8.8.817) contains a version of CGI.pm which is broken for IIS deployments. Use
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120.msi instead.

Hi david,
I used the above link to install Active perl .It worked fine in Windows XP.And it got installed.

IN windows 2000, i couldnt install packages(DBI,Template-Toolkit,Authen-SASL).Error i am getting while installing those packges is

Error: Can't call method "list_files" on an undefined value at C:/Perl/site/lib/
PPM/Archive/Tar.pm line 31.
According to http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=40750 this link
its a bug in Active perl when used in Windows 2000 and it seems its not fixed.

can u suggest me any other version of active perl which can be used with Windows2000 so that i can install ppm packges without fail.

Thanks in advance.

What an annoying problem.. I can only suggest you install the latest, and try to install CGI.pm manually.

Cheers,
David

Thank u very much for your reply.

Try using the ppm tool itself - it could be that a more recent version is available.
