SYMPTOMS
========
After you install Perl, the following error message may appear when you execute
a Perl script from the Scripts virtual directory:
HTTP/1.0 403 Access Forbidden (Read Access Denied - This Virtual
Directory does not allow objects to be read.)
CAUSE
=====
During the installation of Perl, a registry entry is added to the following
subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3Svc\Parameters
\Script Map\.pl : Reg_Sz : Path:\PerlIS.Dll
This registry entry specifies that a file with the extension .pl can be executed
in a virtual directory and calls the PerlIs.dll interpreter.
WORKAROUND
==========
All Internet Services must be stopped and then restarted after installing Perl
for Windows NT. The registry change will not take effect until the services have
been restarted.
