In *your* case, you (or possibly the maker of your distribution) have
commented out srm.conf from being read. Does not necessarily mean that
srm.conf is deprecated. Debian unstable *still* uses srm.conf.
thaths@daemon:[1] ~ $ grep srm.conf /etc/apache/*.conf
/etc/apache/httpd.conf:# Any httpd.conf or srm.conf directive may go
into a VirtualHost command.

A casual Google search for "srm.conf deprecated" in the apache.org
website does not yield any significant results.

And _how exactly_ is that different from what I said? Turning ExecCGI
option for the html directory without adding the cgi-script handler will
not do much. Adding the handler is essential.

True. Mea Culpa. I missed mentioning this.
