You need to go into Properties/Advanced. Make sure there is a "virtual directory" for your cgi directory (usually /cgi-bin or /cgi-local). Then make sure that directory points to the actual directory that your perl program is stored in. Also make sure that in the "Edit Properties" or "Add" dialog for that directory the "Execute" and "Scripts" checkboxes are checked.

Make sure also that the first line of your perl program (the one that starts with #!) contains the path to where perl.exe is located on your system. Tracy Dryden
