No, IIS sets the header properly to Content-Type: text/plain when I append
the qv=1 parameter. And, if I change the perl script to send text/html, I
don't get prompted to save the file (but there are no carraige returns). It
looks like it's a problem with IE, because it's prompting me to save the
file, and defaulting to a file name of analog.pl. And it only happens on
machines that I've installed Perl on, which makes me think that IE has
decided that text/plain doesn't mean text/plain for .pl scripts. Which is a
pain.

ActiveState Perl automatically registers .plx for this purpose.
