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!

Using this code-less .asp page: 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).
