Special settings on PC for IIS running CGI??

I am learning Perl/cgi. My PC is set up with IIS installed and the latest Active Perl. I learnt and configured my cgi-bin to run scripts, but now I am having a problem as I am learning scripts that write to and read from a text file. My code is good; I can include it if necessary. My scripts work fine when I upload them to a website. And on my PC when I # out the lines which try to write to the text file there is no problem with the script reading the text file and printing the data. My SHEBANGs are correct and I have the html file pointed to the proper files and folders.

How do I have to set properties on my PC so scripts will write to text files?

Thanks, Samantha

To make things easier, just get a Linux server. Getting IIS up so that it works right is too much of a pain, and it has too many security holes anyway. There's a reason most webservers are Linux and that reason is that Windows is terrible for it.
