permissions in /cgi-bin/

[Chris Bayley]

I have have an out of the box apache install from Mandrake 8.2, I am trying to get some CGI going but get this on the browser:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/first.pl
on this server.

And this from the log:
[error][client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/cgi-bin/first.pl

I guess it's to do with per-directory configs as first.pl runs from /var/www/perl/ ok

I just don't know what I'm looking for yet.....

everything in cgi-bin has a+x
