I am devaloping a web site on IIS on a Win2K sysem. the system works fine
when using IE on Windows but Mac users get an error message that say it does
not recognize ".PL"

Also when I am using FireFox as a browsed it starts to download the HTML
contents as a file!!
Any help is appreciated.

Would you please actually *read* the posting guidelines?

Your question is not a Perl question.

Your question is off topic, but I'll bet you that the Mac Browser (Safari?)
and Firefox are both doing the correct things, whereas IE is only working
due to its inability to conform to standards.

You are not returning the correct MIME type from your CGI.
