Re: PerlEx on windows server 2003, 64 bit

I know it is now five years after you posted your question, and who knows i=
f you'll ever read this response.

But I had the same problem, and finally figured out the solution so I'll po=
st it for others who may happen upon it.

On 64-bit systems, the "Enable32BitAppOnWin64" is usually set to FALSE by d=
efault, so this causes the 500 error when running PerlEX (which is only inc=
luded in the 32-bit release of ActivePerl).

Here's what you do: in IIS, go into whichever application pool contains Per=
lEx (on my system it's just "DefaultAppPool"), then click "Set Application =
Pool Defaults". You'll see the option for "Enable 32-bit Applications" and =
you can set that to TRUE.

You may have to re-start the web site / web server for it to take effect. H=
opefully this will save someone the 2 hours of research I had to do to find=
 this solution.... shew.
