Bug 188039 – [LayoutTests][Win] Configure perl binary location for CGI execution.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: CONFIGURATION CHANGED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Basuke Suzuki]

There are many CGIs used for http tests. It contains shbang line in it and usually point to /usr/bin/perl, which is not suitable for native Windows environment. PHP is more portable and I believe there's almost no case only Perl can handle some task. Let's convert'em one by one. This is the meta bug for that task.

AppleWin port is also using XAMPP Apache. I think just a mis-configuration.

There is a comment.

[Fujii Hironori]

There are some perl scripts in imported directory. I think it's not feasible to convert.

Oh, thank you for the info. This should be documented or showing warning in some where during the launching httpd.

Renamed summary from : [LayoutTests] Convert CGI written in Perl to PHP.

On Windows, XAMPP is used for layout test. We can assume perl is installed in XAMPP directory.

[Fujii Hironori]

You need to install xammp-perl for WinCairo Docker.

Right. Or make it configurable by env var. Or respect the predefined registry value.

[Basuke Suzuki]

Some CGI put "-T" option in the shebang line. So is the registry value.

[Basuke Suzuki]

These registry must be set for bots.

This was fixed in the build bot image for wincairo.
