Hi there,

It's very simple. All u have to do is
right click on properties tab of the server available on IIS. In Master properties edit the WWW settings. Now click on the "Home Directory" tab on top. Click the "Configuration" button.

A window opens up. Use the tab on top "Add Executables" . Now click on the Add button. A small window opens this time. Now enter the path leading to the Location of perl.exe on the m/c. in Executable field. followed by
a space and %s%s. Then give the entry in extension field as .pl or .cgi as the file may be. That's all ur perl configurtation is done. Apply the settings and restart the IIS.

Hope this'll help u out.

Bye
