It's a long time since I've used perlis.dll but I think your problem is
going to be caused by that copy. You are going to need the entire
ActiveState perl install because perlis.dll is simply a shim layer between
ISAPI and perl - it isn't perl itself.

You are probably better off asking this question on one the ActiveState perl
mailing lists (http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/). The perl-win32-web
list looks potentially useful.
