You need to asscoiate the .cgi extension with the Perl ISAPI dll. This is dicussed in the Active Perl installation documentaion, but its headed associating .pl with Perl. Instead of/or as well as associating .pl you do that same steps and associate .cgi n the same way.

You need to use the MMC, click on the required server. Choose properties. Edit the masetr properties for

http://WWW service.

Next I think you choose IASPI fliters. Choose add. In Filter name add .pl, and then asscoiate the correct PErl dll with it. This last bit is where you should check te active perl documentation.
