Sounds like perl is not starting automatically. Try this:
my $file_path = $Server->MapPath( "/ASPtoPerl/MakeFile.pl" );
my $exit_status = system_call_test( "perl $file_path" ) / 256;
This calls the perl.exe directly. If you don't have perl.exe
in your servers path, you'll need to complete path to it:
my $exit_status = system_call_test( "c:/perl/bin/perl.exe $file_path" )
/ 256;
Or something like that.
If this doesn't work, show us what prints to the browser.
