I'm using Apache 2.0 on Debian Linux. I've installed mod_perl and I can see the links for perl.load and perl.conf in /etc/apache2/mods_enabled. My perl.load is like this:
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so <Directory /var/www/perl > SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry </Directory> I've also tried "/perl" for the directory, but it makes no difference. At this point I'm not doing anything fancy. I just need to test some scripts that will later be uploaded to a server. At this point, I just need to get it working on my own system quickly so I can get a few scripts tested (as opposed to writing, uploading, testing, then editing, uploading...). I've searched on this, but not found much helpful on it. When I point my browser to http://localhost/perl/script, I get the source for the script. If I add ".pl" to the script name and put that in the browser address bar, Firefox tries to download the program. Any help, info, or a link or two is much appreciated. Hal
