Wild guess, you don't have a shebang line at the top of your perl script. Try this resource for a walkthrough in getting this working.

A shebang line:

  #!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe

[download]

(And for anyone curious, yes, you do need a shebang for apache on windows, unless you configure Handlers to use the extension.)

Remember, when you stare long into the abyss, you could have been home eating ice cream.
