How to run scripts other than ASP on IIS

Q: We want to run PHP and Perl programs on our own IIS server, but we can't always find the right way to allow these scripts to work properly. We have a lot of very useful scripts in our hands, but how can we allow IIS to run scripts other than ASP?

A: Microsoft provides a version of the Perl interpreter in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit, but to get the latest version and the most comprehensive interpreter, you should be from http://www.activestate Download the latest release of the product on .com/. From there, you'll be able to get a package called ActivePerl that contains installation routines that create application mappings for .pl and .plx files, allowing you to manage script files of the above types. In other words, if you want to use the .pl file type for all scripts, you can remove the application mapping for .plx files. Whenever possible, you should use the perl.dll interpreter instead of the perl.exe interpreter for better performance and scalability. In addition, you can get instructional guides on this topic from the website http://www.iisanswers.com/Top10FAQ/t10-installperl.htm and the knowledge base article numbered Q245225,

You can download the PHP interpreter and a lot of related documentation and online resources from the website http://www.php.net/.
