in reply to How do I install perl on win2000 so that I can use perl file offline?

Download ActiveState perl .msi file from the site

make sure IIS 5.0 is installed (Windows add remove programs)

doubleclick the installer

make sure that you add Perl for ISAPI and PerlIS in the install

run your cgi scripts.

The problem that you had with IE doing the download thing is that the webserver does not know to use the Perl ISAPI filter to process that type of file. Read the docs on the ActiveState site
