  Re: CGI Perl Script Will Not Run On IIS7 Reply Contact I have been using the old wwwboard.pl script on IIS4.0, IIS5.1, and IIS6. It runs fine with no issues. Unfortunately, when I configure it to run on IIS7, there are 502 "gateway" errors, and the program hangs. I've tried everything from checking permissions, extensions, even checked and rechecked the perl script itself. However,  nothing seems to solve the problem. The program still hangs, especially after I press the radio POST button on the root Index.html file. What could be the probable cause? Could it be that the perl script itself needs to be upgraded to function on IIS7, or perhaps the perl interpreter Activestate is not fully compatible with IIS7? According to the Activestate website, the interpreter is compatible up to IIS6. There is no mention of IIS7 compatibility...yet.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  RJD
