I don't know about Indigo perl, as I have Activestate running (and it automatically gives you the option of adding an ISAPI (sp?) module for IIS so that you can run perl scripts.) But I do know that Apache and IIS are two DIFFERENT webservers.

To find out which one is running and what not, you should just be able to type on the machine http://localhost/ or http://<machine_name>/ and it should give you the apache or IIS default page. Anyhow, you might have to close down IIS to have the Apache server running correctly or have it run on a different port than IIS (not to sure of the technical details here). This might mean that you have to deal with the directories that apache is looking for stuff probably something like:

c:\...\apache\cgi-bin\

as opposed to IIS. Anyhow, I am currently getting some of the info from IndigoPerl and perhaps it will contain other information to get your project going.
