whereis perl gives /usr/bin/perl
in commonhttpd.conf I have the following...
Alias /perl/ /var/www/perl/
<location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options ExecCGI
</Location>
The perl directory is 775 and the perltest.pl script in the directory is 755
This is the script...
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Create an HTML page to display a message.
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML><BODY><TITLE>Test</TITLE>";
print "<CENTER>";
print "<H1>";
print "TEST";
print "</H1>";
print "<HR>";
print "Hooray! It works!";
print "<HR>";
print "</CENTER>";
print "</BODY></HTML>";
When I try to acces my test script from the web I get a prompt in my browser asking me if I want to download the file.
Link to the perl file

What the heck am I missing here?
I want to run the YaBB forum like this...

#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
? Note that you'll also need to add '.pl' to the end of that so that mod_cgi will be invoked for .pl files.
I received an answer to my query yesterday,
had the AddHandler directive but it didn't have .pl
Thanks
This problem is now resolved. :-))
