Your browser may return the following error message:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete
set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
Can't open Perl script "D:\InetPub\wwwroot\": No such file or directory
CAUSE
The directory name within the Perl script has a space in it, or the
script name has a space in it.
When you try to run the script, the Perl engine only sees the first half of
the script name.
WORKAROUND
Remove any spaces in the directory path names or any spaces in the script name.
