Re: [Codestriker-user] Help with IIS and codestriker

[David S. <si...@us...>]

Ok,

I think the best workaround for this issue, is to not download the 
latest ActivePerl, but to use this one if you need to use IIS:

http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120.msi

This distribution doesn't contain the CGI.pm issue.

I'll add this to the documentation.

Cheers,
David
