Apache2.0, Win2K and CGI

Anyone able to use Perl cgi scripts with Apache2.0 on Win2K?

I finally got the config file working so that it tries to execute the 
cgi script, but receive this in my log file.

The system cannot find the file specified.  : couldn't create child 
process: 22502: D:/cgi-bin/script.cgi, ...
(22502)The system cannot find the file specified.  : couldn't spawn 
child process: D:/cgi-bin/script.cgi, ...

The script is in fact there... I 've had a few people sanity check it 
for me.

What looks fishy to me is the unix style / instead of Windows \.  But I 
don't see how to change if it is the problem.
I see the code where it is trying to create the process, but was hoping 
someone might know what I have setup incorrectly.

TIA,
Dwayne

P.S.
I have ActiveState Perl installed, and this script runs under Apache 
1.3.22.  I am not using mod_perl (yet).
