No luck yet.
First line in script: and whereis perl confirms that's where it is.
#!/usr/bin/perl
apache conf sections:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/httpd/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /protected-cgi-bin/ /home/httpd/protected-cgi-bin/
-----
<Directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow From all
</Directory>
Since I can run a standard shellscript, located in the cgi-bin directory, is
there a security situation I missed re perl scripts specifically?
