IIS: Installing Perl.

[Morgoth]

Has anyone here installed perl onto their IIS server?

Is it safe? Is it secure?

I need to find some sort of perl engine to install onto my server, does anyone know of a good program or thing to use?

Any information can be VERY helpful!

Easily installed and it's free too!

You don't know how much time you saved me!

Thank you so much!


For Windows
I can download:
Windows MSI -8.6MB
Windows AS package -8.4MB
I have both but I want to know what MSI is... Do I need it?

Unless you use Windows 98 get the MSI package. (MSI = MicroSoft Installer -- it's the built-in installer that MS created to reduce the number of strange installer packages that kept getting created and often failed to accomplish tasks they needed such as setting up un-install information).

I use Windows 2000 Pro.

Thank you for all your help!
