Re my and the other above posts: I think the other posts were more onspot with regards to the "embedding" the OP wanted.

However, I notice the OP asks if any of this is workable with IIS, and I have this to say. IIS is a pain in the butt for everything other than ASP. So, recommend you look into apachefriends as I suggested above. Cheers!

Update: although see my hedge above about perl on iis being doable.
