Description:Summary:
An attacker can run arbitrary code on the remote computer.

This is because the remote IIS server is running a version of ActivePerl prior to 5.6.1.630
and has the Check that file exists option disabled for the perlIS.dll.

Solution:
Either upgrade to a version of ActivePerl more
recent than 5.6.1.629 or enable the 'Check that file exists' option.

To enable this option, open up the IIS MMC, right click on a (virtual) directory in
your web server, choose Properties, click on the Configuration... button, highlight
the .plx item, click Edit, and then check/enable the 'Check that file exists' option.
