Oh, good.  I didn't know if you'd have to go in and declare to IIS that .cgi was a legal executable extension or not.  I just knew that it worked under Apache without any fiddling around.

For instance, I just renamed the copy on my test instance (Windows XP, with Apache) to wa.cgi and I'm having no trouble running it.  I think there are other sites represented here who do something similar.

And you'd also have to make sure that your web server knew that .cgi was an executable extension.  (This appears to be the case by default in Apache, but I wouldn't give you odds that's also the case for IIS.)
