That doesn't tell me much.  My *guess* is that the IPC::Open2::open2()
call is failing to really open the pipe to the swish-e program.

There's no real error checking in the windows_fork() subroutine in
swish.cgi.  I'm not so sure what can be tested.  Might check that $pid
is defined, although I have no idea what that means on Windows.

Maybe when running ActivePerl IISPerl there's some "security" to prevent
running external programs???
