I recently installed ActivePerl 5.8 on my Windows 2003
server with IIS 6.0 installed. It installed fine and
supposedly changed the configuration of IIS to work
with .pl extensions. I can see that it has enabled Perl
CGI and Perl ISAPI in Web Appliations and has added
the .pl extenion to application mapping. However,
whenever I try to open the simple sample "helloworld.pl"
application - I get 403 Access Denied error.
I know this is a permissions error - I have read/execute
enabled for the IIS Anonymous User and I have given
Network Service read/execute to the c:\perl\bin directory
(where the perl executable files are). Any ideas? I
have looked at Active State and Microsoft's sites -
didn't find anything. I have tried this on 2 servers -
both the same problem. Both do have .asp pages working
correctly.
