tag_solution = "Either upgrade to a version of ActivePerl more
recent than 5.6.1.629 or enable the Check that file exists option.
To enable this option, open up the IIS MMC, right click on a (virtual)
directory in your web server, choose Properties, 
click on the Configuration... button, highlight the .plx item,
click Edit, and then check Check that file exists.
