Then perhaps your not the best person to help me with this. I really
appreciate the effort, though. (Since your not telepathic, if there was
something in particular that you wanted to know about my config, you could
have asked. I provided any info that I thought would be pertinent in my
original post.)

Yeah - I know. My IIS is configured fine for typical purposes. I'm having
problems with serving up *Perl* pages. Therefor....

Weirdness?? That's subjective, but neither here nor there. I stated that I
was new to Perl, so obviously I don't know everything about using *any*
module.

So you're saying that this forum is only for Perl discussions that don't
have anything to do with specific modules, OS, middleware, etc?? I don't
know how you can troubleshoot without knowing the environment.

Not only do you not know all the investigating that I've done prior to
posting to the forum (which is always my last option), but you maybe should
revisit my original post, inwhich I state that I've already verified that
the dll is there, and has read / execute permissions on it.

Uh-huh - so you don't have an answer for your own suggestion, do you?

Maybe, but it is in regards to Perl. IOW... how to get Perl to work on a
particular OS with a particular webserver, both of which are very common.
I came to this forum as a newbie seeking help with a particular problem,
hoping that some more experienced people would have some advice from their
experiences. But it seems like all you want to do is argue and patronize. If
you can't help me, just move on to the next post.
Thanks (anyway)
