You need to do several things:-
1) associate the perl file extension (.pl) with an executable script
In regedit:-
HKEY_LOCAL_SYSTEM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\ScriptMap
.pl perl.exe %s
2) set the correct directory permissions on cgi-bin to execute but not read
access
Shutdown and then restart PWS
I guess you are using activestate perl ? If so see
