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).
I found that there are some modules that do not play well with the
perlis.dll. I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere though.
I also found that the log file for the perlis.dll is in the directory
with perlis.dll and it's called PerlIS-Err.log.
I found that the system(), opening a process via a pipe, using the
select() and backticks don't work under PerlIS or don't work well. Your
mileage may vary.

Subject: Perl and IIS
Hi all,
I am running an Apache server with Perl and it is running beautifully.
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?
Regards,
Javier Moreno
