Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I try to run *.pl files on Internet information server 5. I configured the IIS to run *.pl with the perl.exe but the result I get is the perl script on the browser as a text file. It seems that the IIS doesn’t interpreters the scrip. I would like to know if there is additional setting that I have to do?. Thanks Sagi

    Hello,
    If you're running with the ActiveState perl, I strongly suggest that you check the documentation bundled with the distribution, epecially the section Web Server Config

    Here's the procedure to follow (from the top off my head, there may be some mistakes)

    1. Open the IIS administration console
    2. Select your cgi-bin directory
    3. Open the Configuration properties
    4. There should be something like Application Map
    5. Add ".pl" + your perl executable to the Map
    6. You're done! You may need to restart IIS

    Any correction, precisions welcomed...
