Yes, I ran across that page somewhere in my travels, but I was looking into why ASP 
didn't work with Perl, not CGI stuff.  I followed the instructions anyway and ran 
across my real problem with ASP:  the user account I'm using with IIS for anonymous 
users didn't have access to the Perl installation!  In the past I guess that wasn't a 
problem because MS left everything wide open to the Everyone group.

Annoying, but easy to fix and worth the extra security.

Thank you!

Paul

You need to explicitly allow the .pl and .plx extensions for use by IIS
(or allow "all unknown extensions", which isn't recommended).  See e.g.:

    http://www.imbored.biz/perl/ 

The next release of the ActivePerl installer will add entries for Perl
CGI and Perl ISAPI automatically, but they will still be prohibited by
default (in the spirit of 2003: Everything is locked down unless
explicitly enabled).

Cheers,
