To make things even easier if you are on Windows Vista or later, ‘ap-iis-config add all’ will install IIS 7 or 7.5, including the optional CGI and ISAPI modules as required. In that case, ap-iis-config will also add a virtual PerlEx directory to the default web site that will point to the PerlEx samples directory (if installed). If no –site is specified, then the script mappings will be added to both the root configuration and to the default web site (sites 0 and 1).

There’s also a –perlex option which will add both *.plex and *.aspl mappings for the PerlEx plugin. The –cgi and –isapi options adds a *.pl mapping for perl.exe and the –isapi option adds a *.plx mapping for perlis.dll, the Perl for ISAPI plugin.

None: Local: Low: Not required: None: None: Partial: ActivePerl 5.8.x and others, and Larry Walls Perl 5.6.1 and others, when running on Windows systems, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the system command, which leads to a stack-based buffer overflow. Here’s an example for doing something more specific:Īp-iis-config add all -site 1 -cgi -isapi “ap-iis-config add all” will add all applicable script mappings to both the root configuration and to the default website. Since this is a stand-alone tool, you can also use it if you switch on IIS after ActivePerl has been installed, or if you just want to tweak your server configuration. 1007 and higher installers will call this tool automatically, restoring their ability to configure the current generation of IIS products. The JSON-XS module has been removed from the ActivePerl distribution. release are DBI 1.609 and SQL-Statement 1.20 which showed several regressions when used with DBD::CSV in ActiveState's testing. and higher we have been including a new tool called “ ap-iis-config“. The latest versions at the time of the ActivePerl 5. Even in the good old days, if you decided to turn on IIS after you installed ActivePerl, you had to set things up manually or put yourself through a re-install.ĪctiveState has created something to help you out.

A number of additional manual steps have been required before Perl-driven web pages would work. However, policy changes released with IIS 7, IIS 7.5, and recent service packs for IIS 5 and 6 have prevented the existing ActivePerl installers from automatically setting up all the configuration needed to use ActivePerl inside your IIS server. In the good old days, you could turn on IIS 5, install ActivePerl, and get a working integrated setup for your Windows systems right out of the box.
