On their “get the facts” site (as if), Microsoft recently posted a set of screencast demonstrating how much “easier” it is to install Perl and PHP on IIS than it is on Linux.
Being bored, I had a look at these screencasts. The first covered installing stuff on Windows; in a 5 minute screencast, they first explain how you install ActivePerl, and have it handle perl scripts for a webserver through a CGI interface. This involves way too many steps to remember for me (including clicking through a wizard, going to the IIS management interface and enabling it, creating a directory and enabling that in the IIS interface as a CGI location, and more).
