cgi-bin "page not found"

I am new to this forum so I apologize if I have not posted this in the correct location.

I have installed Active Perl 5.8 on a Windows 2003 server - SP1 / IIS 6.0 dedicated server.
C:\perl\bin\ is also in the system path,

- I can successfully run the C:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\text.pl file form the default website indicating the interpreter is working.

- I CAN NOT get it to run from another website: C:\InetPub\mysite\wwwroot\cgi-bin\text.pl

- I have created a Perl virtual directory in IIS for C:\InetPub\mysite\ just like the one for the default website.

- I have verified all the IIS permissions and folder level permissions and for the Internet Guest Account are the same.

How can I get other website cgi-bins to run .pl files or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks - Jody

Hi Jody!

I ran into a similar problem. I first got around it by going to the "Web Service Extensions" of the IIS Admin tree and enabling all unknown CGI Extensions. When I later found that this was a sizable security risk, I disabled the feature, then added a new Web Service Extension with the path to my cgi-bin file.
