If it's containing e.g. #!/bin/perl or so, it's executable. Thank you very very much, Corinna, you've just saved my life. :-) Honestly, I didn't know this before...(that the shebang determines the executable status in Cygwin) Well yes, Dreamweaver 3 _must not_ auto-correct ANYTHING. Now look at that! [before] #!/usr/bin/perl [afterwards] #!/usr/bin/perl This obviously _cannot_ work. Fix: Tell Dreamweaver to NEVER rewrite CGI files: Edit->Preferences->HTML Rewriting Never Rewrite HTML: In Files with Extensions [...] .cgi [...] OK. That did it. Many thanks again, Corinna. Glad I was able to track that down now with DW.
