I always use perlis.dll for PWS. It uses less resources than perl.exe. If Active Perl is installed at C;\Perl then the string you want is: name = ".pl" data = "c:\perl\bin\perlis.dll" Using regedit.exe, browse to: "HKEY_LOCAL_SYSTEM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\Sc ript Map" Select: EDIT, New, StringValue Enter name = .pl. Click .pl Select: Edit, Modify Enter data = c:\perl\bin\perlis.dll
If needed, you can add similar entries for .plx and .cgi. The data will be the same.
