Not the case, Dan. While I would never expose IIS to the public Internet, it is an excellent tool for debugging CGI scripts. It puts a minimum of extraneous configuration grief into the process, and usually passes error messages back through in its web content: qq/ The specfied application did not return the required eader. What it returned instead was: [your debug info here] / Clearly not something to display to the public, but it can be very useful in working out program logic. I think the OP's problem has more to do with the problems inherent in shelling out than in the server platform.
