You might want to do to the CGI.PM homepage and download the examples 
and stick them in \xitami\cgi-bin\examples. Then try running one of them 
(e.g http://localhost/cgi-bin/examples/tryit.cgi)

I have never used ActivePerl's setup options but I have never had a 
problem running Win2k + Xitami + ActivePerl
