>Description:
If you install the latest Perl for Win32, it lets you set up filename 
associations for .pl files.  Do this, and instead of defining a ScriptAlias, 
use AddHandler to add a cgi-script handler for .pl files.  Your scripts should 
execute fine, unless you append a GET query to them (as short as just a "?").  
In that case, the source code of your script is returned.

This also appears to happen when you add a ScriptAlias.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
A workaround is to remove the association for .pl files.
