What version of IIS are you running? For 4.0 and above: When you install Activestate - it automatically 'associates' .pl with the PERL interpreter and .plx to use PERL for ASAPI - meaning you can use PERL in your ASP pages - just make sure you call them xxx.plx and call them as such from within your <Script> </Script> delimiters ....
To use PERL as your lanmguage just make sure you call the correct .pl script from your form's method= setting .... Also, are your directory and file permissionings correct within IIS as well as the file system? Make sure that the directory that your scripts live in are set to "Execute" not just "Script" .... You can do all of this from the IIS Console Manager ....

Hi, Is it possible to install CGI on IIS? I have installed perl 5.06 from active state. But it seems that the .pl file would not get read and renaming it to .cgi file will not work either.
