Perl Script in CFLOCATION tag - Coldfusion - Advanced Techniques

[Spinagig]

I'm trying to a Perl script that provides an authorization mechanism (call
Bluestem). I'm running Coldfusion 7 within IIS 6 (Windows 2003 server). The
CFM template is supposed to call the login script with the following line.

<CFLOCATION
url="https://#CGI.SERVER_NAME#/Scripts/bluestem/lb_relogin.pl#CGI.PATH_INFO#?#CG
I.QUERY_STRING#">

The script is supposed to run then after verification go to
CGI.PATH_INFO?CGI.QUERY_STRING.

The following is in the browser address box:

https://server.com/Scripts/bluestem/lb_login.pl/test/TestBluestem/default.cfm?&C
FID=47854&CFTOKEN=30225016

The following is the error message. Coldfusion thinks it's a path instead of
seeing the .pl in the middle and executing it.
File not found: /Scripts/bluestem/lb_login.pl/test/TestBluestem/default.cfm

If I remove the string after the .pl, the script runs but takes me to my site
home page. Is there a setting in the CF Administator or a different CF tag
that I need to use?

Thanks

Try using this:
<CFLOCATION
url="https://#CGI.SERVER_NAME#/Scripts/bluestem/lb_relogin.pl#URLEncodedForm
at( CGI.PATH_INFO )#?#URLEncodedFormat( CGI.QUERY_STRING )#">

But the problem might not be CF but IIS which sees the default.cfm extension
at the end and invokes CF instead of perl.

Thanks for trying but that didn't help.

I did find out that it may be a Coldfusion issue. I renamed my file to .html
and it worked correctly.

Is there any way to tell Coldfusion MX 7 to execute a perl script pryor to
executing a CFM template if the script is inline as shown above?

It's not ColdFusion who decides which extension to call, it's the webserver,
in this case IIS (as far as I know).
 

cfexecute if the Perl script is installed on the same machine as CF. But I
sure don't understand what you're trying to do.
