I found this a long time ago on Hagen Software's site in a Q & A area.
Never had to try it, but according to this, you can change a small snippet
in a FrontPage's "service.cnf" file to ensure that FP uploads your *.cgi and
*.pl files as ASCII.

-------------------------
I am using FrontPage. How do I make sure that the scripts are uploaded in
the ASCII format?

When using nonstandard files, such as CGI scripts or Perl programs that will
be published to a Unix server, FrontPage needs to know how to send the files
to the server. As CGI scripts and Perl programs are standard ASCII, their
extensions need to be added to the service.cnf file found in the _vti_pvt
directory located under the root web which is most commonly found at
drive:\webshare\wwwroot. To set additional ASCII extensions, open the file
"service.cnf" using an ASCII text editor such as Notepad. Find the entry
"vti_txtextensions" and append the file extensions for your scripts or Perl
programs. For example, in "vti_textextensions:SX|.*.txt.bas.c.h.pl.cgi.", we
have appended ".pl.cgi." Please note that the ending period is required.
