What kind of problems are you having? You shouldn't have to mess with the
registry directly, I don't think.

The best place to look for help on this is the perl documentation (and I
don't mean RTFM, it just explains it much better than I would). Especially
see perlwin32faq6 - it's got a section specifically on configuring perl
with IIS4. Steps 8 and 9 seem to be the most commonly missed, to whit:

8. Select the App Mappings tab and click the Add button. You see the
Add/Edit Application Extension Mapping dialog. 

9. To run Perl as a CGI application, type the full path to Perl.EXE
followed by %s %s. When a script is executed, the first %s will be replaced
by the full path to the script, and the second %s will be replaced by the
script parameters.
