Create and test a cgi-bin:
1. Open the Control Panel for IIS.
2. If there is not already a directory named "cgi-bin" under your web server's root directory, create one.
3. Make sure that the directory alias is: cgi-bin.
4. Make sure that "Execute (including scripts)" is enabled for "cgi-bin". Stop and restart the web server.
5. Copy the following into a file named "test.pl" and place it into the cgi-bin:
print "Content-type: text/html\n\nHello World!";
6. Now point your web browser to
http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.pl. You should see "Hello World!" appear
on your screen. If it doesn't, restart your computer and try again.
