As you are relatively new to Perl and webframeworks i feel to suggest you to not start with IIS: I have only a limited and not so recent experience with Perl+IIS but is a dreadful path.

If you can switch to Linux things will be much simpler to get run.

If you have some constraint about the OS you can try Apache for windows.

IIS7 is in my experience a very unfriendly program: CGI on IIS was always a pain and things seem getting even worst. Especially debug web applications running on IIS written in non MS favourite languages, resulted painful to me.

That said if you must follow this path (IIS7.5+FastCGI) you have all my encouragemnts and I hope you can share here your future results. Thanks for the (even if japanese) page you linked, that is anyway interesting.

good luck and I hope see more post about this topic here at PM.
