I suspect the problem is the Apache config on my Mac but have researched and
made changes but to no avail.
I installed Apache 2 at the weekend and had to work out how to get
things configured. Here's what I ended up with in httpd.conf
(/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf). You'll need to read the whole
file carefully, but even with my strong disinclination to prolonged
concentration I didn't find it too difficult once I'd set my mind to
it.
You need to stop and restard the server after every change, of course.
# "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
