And I realized on my way home that GET parameters are supposed to be passed 
to the Query_String environment variable. I do remember way back in the 
mists of time (IIS 1.0) people were advised to make sure that they only put 
.pl files in their script directories, and to make sure that perl.exe wasn't 
directly addressable from a URL, because you could pass parameters to it. 
It's been a long time, though, and I thought that was fixed in some service 
pack.
