Note: DiscusWare provides this information for your convenience. However, performing this procedure involves editing the configuration of your server and/or operating system. DiscusWare does not support this procedure and encourages the end-user (that's you) to carefully consider and understand these steps before implementing them.

For Windows 2003 and IIS 6, try http://www.visualwin.com/Perl/

For IIS 4.0 or 5.0, use these instructions:

  1. Open the Internet Service Manager. This will bring up the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

  2. In the left frame highlight the web site you wish to configure.

  3. Right-click and choose "Properties."

  4. Click the "Home Directory" tab, then click "Configuration."

  5. Select the App Mappings tab and click the Add button.

  6. Specify ".cgi" (without the quotes) as the extension and "c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s" (without the quotes) as the handler. Note that if you installed Perl in some other location, you'll need to adjust the path accordingly.

  7. Click "Apply" and then "OK" as needed to back out of the MMC.
