You need to give us more detail. What you to mean by "it still wont run any perl scripts"? Exactly what behaviour are you seeing? Are you getting anything in the browser? Is anything written to the web server error log?

Some more details.
Trying to call any .pl files throws up a 'file not found' error on the browser. When calling html pages with embedded perl, the html is rendered and displayed in the browser but the perl code does nothing. For example, a calculator written in HTML with perl script for handling button actions - the calculator appears perfectly but nothing happens when any of the buttons are pressed. Nothing written to the web server error log.

Well the "file not found" error implies that the URL to file mapping isn't working as you think it is. The URLs that you're giving for Perl programs aren't being translated to the paths that you think they are.
As for embedding Perl code into your HTML pages, that's not going to "just work". You need to set up some mechanism that supports that. Is this server side Perl (e.g. EmbPerl or Mason) or client side Perl (e.g. Perlscript)? How have you configured it to work? Does anyone else have similar pages working on the server?
Oh, and you haven't said which web server you are using. You mentioned that it's running on Windows 2003 so there's a good chance that you're using IIS. Have you considered using Apache instead?
