ActivePerl runs on IIS just fine. The only issues you might run into is finding some of the same modules that you can use on an Apache/*nix server (some, like Expect, are not available on the Windows platform). You'll just need to define the extensions you're using for your perl scripts, and tell the server how to run them in the IIS configuration.
Basically, after installing ActivePerl on your IIS server, using IIS Manager, you go to the properties of the site, click on the Home Directory tab, then click on the Configuration button. Under the Mappings tab in the Application Configuration window, you define your extensions and give the executable path as "<path>\perl.exe" %s %s (you sometimes need the quotes in the path). I believe there is also a way to use the perl.dll instead of the perl.exe (it should be very similar, and you can easily find documentation on-line to help you with this).

However, I found out I have a corporate policy to use IIS so I have to migrate. Is there a good way to have IIS run Perl without issues?
