Perl script is executing in new window rather than generating HTML

I seen this before but I can't remember the fix

[lgn1]

Im running ActiveState Perl 5.8 on a Windows XP Pro box and im using IIS 5.

I have perl scripts that generate html content.

Im using FrontPage 2000. When I call a link on my webpage which calls the perl script to generate a new webpage, instead of executing the script in Frontpage and displaying the new generated page, it opens up a separate DOS window and outputs the html in that DOS
window.

It works find on my other PC, and I remember their is
a trick to fix this, but for some reason, I can't remember it at this moment.

Does anybody have the solution?

I haven't used windows in a while, but it souunds like the issue is that your haven't got your local server set up to parse and serve cgi scripts.

Any clues from looking at the config on the other PC?

For some reason the .pl perl association in IIS did not get set. This should have been setup automatically, but it didn't.

Once I put the c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s entry in the approrpriate place under IIS, everthing works fine.
