Need help with attaching perl to IIS

[mehring]

I installed ActivePerl-5.14.2.1402 on Windows Server 2003 running IIS 6 and Perl seems to be just fine I can run a simple hello world script through command prompt and it outputs fine. However I cannot get it working through web browser. I followed a couple of tutorials found here

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245225

http://www.visualwin.com/Perl/

but whenever I go to access a simple hello world program in my web browser I either get 500 internal server error or internet explorer cannot view this website depending on my configuration (the tutorials had a few different configuration options). here is the code I am trying to run in my browser by the way.

-------code---------
#!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe
use CGI qwstandard);
print header();
print start_html();
print "test";
print end_html();

your shebang looks a bit odd to me...plus turn on error handling.

#!/usr/bin/perl

######################
# Set Error Trapping #
######################

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser); 
use warnings;
use strict;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print '<h2>this is a test<h2>';
exit();
