>Description:
In learning Perl, I placed a apache 1.26 server on or internet site.  My 
beginning Perl scripts had the basic "fill this out" and post it to a .txt file.
I then updated to 1.30, and had some reconfiguring to do because of the 
"virtual only"
config.  for some time I never used this function (the pages display fine).  
When I wanted to 
update a perl script I tested an input and received the error "The requested 
method POST
is not allowed for the URL /cgi-bin/form1.pl"
>How-To-Repeat:
http://panther.bsat.com (placed on our net as a test)
the "Survey form"
also the search engine displays the perl script but does not run it.

>Fix:
have checked/modified paths, used alias setups, verified rights, worked with 
virtual hosts updates.
Probably a .conf error or change in 1.3 I can't fathom
