Why do I get this error when I try to run Big Medium on my Windows server?
This indicates that your Windows server is not configured to run .cgi files as Perl scripts.
Ask your server administrator to confirm that Perl is installed on the server. If not, he or she can obtain a copy of Perl for Windows here:

After ensuring that Perl is indeed installed on the server, your server administrator should configure the server to run .cgi scripts like so:
From the Start Menu, navigate to:
Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services
In the IIS Administration console, use the left-side navigation to go to:
Local Computer > Web Sites > Default Web Site
Right-click on "Default Web Site" and choose "Properties".
Select the "Home Directory" tab, and then click "Configuration".
Click the "Add" button.
In the form, fill in these values for the fields displayed:
C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe "%s" %s.cgiGET,HEAD,POSTCheck that file exists (uncheck this box)
Click "OK"
