This should not happen. There is no reason a dos box should open up on the
client when a form is submitted. The only thing I can think is that IIS is
sending you a file that your client thinks is executable and is trying to
immediately execute it (or running the perl script from perl through a DOS
box). In either case I don't think this is normal behavior for Netscape's or
Microsoft's browser products.
Have you tried this from another computer? It sounds like there may be a
configuration problem on your workstation.

If the executable does the same thing the Perl script does, then this isn't
specifically a Perl problem but a configuraiton problem on the server or the
client.

Make sure that IIS knows to run the programs in the given directory as CGI
scripts. Settings are in the web management console. Look at the default
SCRIPTS or CGI directory and copy the settings (or use the same settings
name) for the directory containing the anlgform.pl or anlgform.exe file.

I think it's something with how you have the server or the client setup.
