Use of Application Pools

I'm new to IIS 6 and have encountered a problem with ownership of
processes that run under IIS. My application consists of Perl scripts
that run as CGIs under IIS. IIS is configured to require
authentication in order to run the scripts. Authentication is set as
Integrated Windows Authentication. The problem I'm seeing is the Perl
process always runs under the identity of the authenticated user. I
need for Perl to run as some generic id that has privileges (such as
read, write) that the average user may not have. I think I need to
make use of Application Pools but have not had any success. In the
Identity tab of the Default Application Pool I have configured the
Application Pool identity to a specific user name and password.
However, after restarting IIS, Perl continues to run as the
authenticated user. I can verify this by watching the user name of
the Perl process as it appears in the task manager. Can anyone offer
some help with this ? Thanks in advance.

You want to set CreateProcessAsUser for the vdir to FALSE and
configure that vdir to use your specific AppPool. Your CGIs should run
as the AppPool Identity now.
