It sounds like your web server is starting perl.exe but is not
passing the name of the script on the command line. This means
when perl runs it expects to read the script from standard input
and will keep waiting/reading until end of file.
The registry key which maps .pl to perl.exe should look something
like this:
C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe "%s" "%s"
Good luck

wrong tree?
Thanks for your help
