in a nonstandard location, then the CGI scripts do not function properly. Always ensure that the paths to the
resources in the CGI scripts are correct. The standard installation location of Perl on systems running the Windows
and Linux operating system is C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe and /usr/bin/perl respectively. For more information, see IBM
