Make the correct mapping, and it should be ok.
-- Actually, there were no mappings. I installed the server first, then Active Perl. The Script Map section was blank. I tried mapping to c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s originally and it didn't work. I then tried c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s because I saw it in another document. The point though is that the extensions mentioned below both work with c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s. But, as stated below, they also continue to work even though they were removed from the registry.
