Two things need be checked separately:
- is Perl installed?
- Is you webserver configured to run Perl when a CGI script is invoked?
You say that the install procedure went on fine. Now, you need to check that the Perl interpreter is in your %PATH%. From the command-line, type 'perl -v' and you should get a welcome message stating the version you're using.
As for the webserver config, well, it depends on the webserver... Apache? IIS? Zeus?

UPDATE: you didn't explicitly say so, but because you write "IE5", I suppose you're using Perl for CGI programming. It might be worth mentionning, for Perl can do an awful lot more...
