Thanks for replyl
I have perl interpreter insalled. I also checked that I can run my perl 
scripts from console and view the ouput in console or redirect it to a file 
and view the output. However, I cannot make apache recognize my scripts as 
cgi scripts that to display their oupt in the browser. So, if I execute 
script from localhost/cgi-bin, I get file download dialog. If I answer 
"open", I see that the perl script is executed in console, so the output is 
scrolled in console window and disappears. 
If the script is supposed to be invoked as an action to the "submit" button, 
it is not found - the directory where it is not found starts from C:/cgi-bin, 
not <apache_rootDirectory>/cgi-bin. I  ran ''netstat -a". I don't see that 
anybody is listening on the port 80. Should apache be displayed their once it 
is started?
How to check that apache is known to the system and that requests to port 80 
go to him?

Thanks
Sophia
