Hello Monks,

I've recently started using CGI::Application and been very impressed. I'm now trying to move it to a Windows server (XP Pro SP2, IIS 6) and having a problem. In CGI::Application, you can define the run_mode like this:

$self->mode_param( path_info=> 1 );

This works great on Apache on my Mac, allowing me to have URLs like this:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/app_name.cgi/run_mode_name?params=values

that execute the app_name.cgi script with the the correct run_mode and the params.

When I try to do the same thing on the Windows machine, I get a 404 error...IIS isn't recognizing that app_name.cgi should be called, instead trying to execute 'run_mode_name' in the 'app_name.cgi' directory (which obviously doesn't exist. I know this is slightly off topic for this website, but does anyone here know if/how you can change the IIS settings to make this work? Or even a better way of describing the problem? I'm having trouble locating help.

Thanks so much

Andrew
