For IIS6 on Windows 2003 ======================== If not enabled automatically by the Perl Installation wizard eg. Activeperl, then to enable it on the cgi-bin virtual directory of the Default Web Site and assuming Perl is at c:\perl\bin\perl.exe 1. IIS console -> Default Web Site -> cgi-bin 2. right click, properties, virtual directory, configuration 3. under application extensions, add - executable = c:\perl\bin\perl.exe "%s" %s - extension = .pl - Verbs = all verbs - tick script engine - tick verify that file exists - OK 4. under settings, set Execute permissions = Scripts only - OK 5. At IIS console, navigate to Web Service Extensions - click on "add a new web service extension" - Extension name = Perl CGI Extension - click Add - Path = c:\perl\bin\perl.exe "%s" %s - tick set extension status to Allowed 6. verify with a perl script in /cgi-bin - not that for IIS the first line #!<path to perl executable> is not necessary
