IIS 4.0 and Perl 5 for win32 -

I've installed perl5 for win 32 on an IIS 4.0 server. I found a great perl script that searches a flat comma delimited script and returns the info in another window. I stuck the modified script in my cgi-bin directory, made a few html pages to go with it, and I get "The method specified in the Request Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the request. Please ensure that you have the proper MIME type set up for the resource you are requesting." So I went under MMC and looked at file types. I entered a new type as .pl but I'm unsure what to enter under the mime box. My perl directory on the server has multiple exe and bat files. Is it one of these?

One note to my above message. I put text/html in the mime content setting of IIS 4.0 and it still gives me error 405. The cgi script has !/perl5 at the beggining indicating where perl is. I'm still unsure why it won't work.
Thanks, Jason
