That stuff is pretty basic, and I had already checked it before posting my
message. :-) But thanks for the suggestion anyway.
Just for anyone who's curious, I did finally figure out how to get Apache
to execute it from there. At the end of my httpd.conf, I added:
Include conf/wcal.conf
Then, I created a wcal.conf file in the /etc/httpd/conf directory, and in
it, put:
<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin/wcal>
AllowOverride All
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I suspect that the only Option which may matter is the ExecCGI one, but
earlier in my commonhttpd.conf file, I saw those exact same options being
mentioned in a directory that they were specifying for perl stuff
(/var/www/perl). BTW, does anyone know if mod_perl only comes into play if
your perl scrips are located there, or does mod_perl come into play no
matter where the perl script is being executed from?
