NT is just as happy running a .pl file as a .exe file, and analog.pl
doesn't care whether it's on NT or Unix.
The problem has more to do with the context of "working directory" in
Windows - if x:\InetPub\wwwroot\logs\analog.pl calls
y:\Analog\analog.exe, the "working directory" for analog.exe is
x:\InetPub\wwwroot\logs\, and it looks for the cfg file and the .lng
files in x:\InetPub\wwwroot\logs\, not in y:\Analog\analog.exe.
You can avoid this confusion by ignoring the security issues entirely,
and making y:\Analog\analog.exe available as a URL, but you'd be better
off modifying the perl script to specify the correct locations for the
ancillary files.
