I have downloaded Perl for ISAPI, but I can't get it work properly.
When I double click on the a pl file, a MS-DOS PROMPT windows opens and my script is executed, but when I want to execute it through the server, a download is initiated.
Perl and the server prog (ISAPI) are on the same NT machine.
if someone knows what's was wrong with my configuration, please let me know
Many thanks for your help.

The IIS default setting is use *.pl to run in "CGI mode".
And *.plx is running in "ISAPI mode".

In my experience that you could just rename your script *.pl to *.plx.
And it will work fine.
