Harsha, You need to set the 'configuration' on the sub dirs to use perl.exe to run the .pl programs. From IIS console (sometimes called snap-in) click 'create' if the configuration button is not available, or click 'configuration' button if it is avaiable. Add the .pl extension so it maps to the perl.exe path on you system. It is also helpful to check the check box 'script engine' otherwise you will need to give the directory execute permissions of scripts and executables. Good luck. Let me know if that solves your issue. Michael
