>Does apache have execute permission on your home directory?

Hmmm. Last night I became suspicious that this might be a permissions 
problem. I confess that permissions is an aspect of linux/unix that 
I've always been a little fuzzy on, so I spent last night trying to 
learn more on that. But I'm not there yet.

No. I can view regular .html files no prob. If this is permissions 
related then I'm thinking it has to do with some combination of 
apache and/or the perl interpreter not having the right rights. But 
as I said, I'm still pretty fuzzy on how to determine that, or 
resolve it. BTW all my perl scripts are chmod a+x.

I was able to occasionally break things by making changes to 
access.conf :-). So I'm pretty sure it's being read.

Regarding mod_perl. I'm pretty sure it's not required in this case. 
It'd probably be good for me to add it one day, but I'm trying to 
walk (well, err, I'll settle for successfully stumbling around) 
before I run.

Thanks.
