I had an amazingly simple counter that wouldn't run (.EXE, not PERL). The
user doesn't want to do much -- just some portable banner rotation for
advertising. But he's insistent on using PERL instead of ISAPI or an .EXE
file. I've just located a .DLL that will run PERL through ISAPI via
DLL's, so that may be a solution, and will propvide him with the
performance of ISAPI without his having to use it.
Thanks!
