Cant run cgi scripts

When I installed active Perl on two of my servers, all I did was run the
install program. I answered all the questions during the install. after I
rebooted the machine. After the reboot, I copied a .pl script into one of my
websites (with no mods) and it worked. I was surprised that I could run a
..pl script from any web dir on the server. I made absolutely no changes to
the IIS server. Active state made all the config setting and after the
reboot everything worked, and works well,

If you need some info, I would be glad to go to my settings and share with
you whatever they are.

You must have scripts and executables turned on all your sites.
