I found this post in the newsgroups, and it sure came in handy when Perl
was giving us problems during our
server software conversion. 

I thought some of you would benefit from it, so I reprinted it here with
the proper credits to the author.

For all you who are trying to run IIS 4.0 and perl here is what you have 
to do to configure it to run properly on IIS 4.0. 

I have outlined a two step process to get it to work...here goes 

****** STEP 1. CONFIGURE PERL TO WORK WITH IIS 4.0***** 
Microsoft changed from having the script mappings in the registry to the 
a 
configuration in the service manager. Now script mappings are changed 
in the 
default website properties. 

Go to the default website, right mouse click on the properties for that 
site.... 

then click on "Home Directory" tab 
Go to the "Applications Settings" toward the bottom of the window...find 

the "Configuration" button...the click on it. A new window called 
script 
mappings exists..you need to either create a new script mappings or edit 
the old 
one. 

It should look like this 

.cgi c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s 
.pl c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s 

I had those set before in the registry...as you may have too...and MS 
IIS 4.0 
pulled the values out and capitalized the %S %S...that wont work..it 
looked like 
this 

*** MICROSOFT PUT THIS THERE...IT WILL NOT WORK *** 
.pl C:\PERL\BIN\PERL.EXE %S %S 

*** YOU MUST CHANGE MAPPING TO LOOK LIKE THIS*** 
.cgi c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s 
.pl c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s 

***** STEP 2. CONFIGURE PERL TO WORK WITH STANDARD I/O ***** 

By default you cannot use standard I/O redirection with perl and IIS 
4.0. 

You have to configure this into the metabase. Here is how you do it: 
You need to run a command line from the: 
"\winnt\system32\inetsrv\adminsamples" directory 

When you get there type this on the command prompt 

adsutil set w3svc/CreateCGIWithNewConsole TRUE 

You may get an error becuase the .vbs is not set, just click on yes, and 
retype the command if you get that error. 

You will have to stop the default website, and restart it from the 
internet service manager to make the changes. 

NOTE: If for some reason you cannot get the adsutil at the command 
prompt, or you get unrecognized command, you may want to search for it 
using the start menu, find. Look on your system for "adsutil.vbs". If 
you still cannot find it, you perhaps did not install all the 
samples...you may go to the Windows NT 4.0 Option pack setup from the 
start menu and check to see if you can install the administration 
samples. I am not sure if the adsutil.vbs shipped in all cases, but 
most of you will have it in your 
"winnt\system32\inetsrv\adminsamples" directory. 

I hope this note helps you guys and keeps you from having same trouble I 
had.
