Hi, I used to run NT 4.0 but had to upgrade for USB. However, when I had NT 4.0 I installed the NT workstation option pack which allowed me to interactively configure IIS to execute Perl scripts (presumably as DLL-- which is faster & better) using the management console, a GUI admin tool that ships with IIS.
Now that I am on Win98 and PWS I had to enter the registry key below manually using regedit (be sure to reboot) since PWS for Win98 doesn't ship with the management console : (. Anyways, I couldn't get the DLL registry entry to work but I did get the CGI entry to work which is simple. Here is how: Navigate to the registry key described below, add the extension .pl then double-click to add the path to the Perl binary-- be sure to follow the entry with 2 %s i.e., C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s. It's slower but it works. I have the NT Option pack for NT 4.0 workstation still. Get with me offline to download. It was difficult to get all of the needed files from Microsoft stated in October that NT 4.0 is official unsupported.
