3.) How do I edit Apache so I can run Perl CGI scripts on my box. I am using
the Mandrake default Apache set-up and I cannot seem to get CGI scripts to
work. I have tried using the scripts in the cgi-bin and elsewhere and I keep
getting an error message like the 403 error below.

This problem is due to an ommision in commonhttp.conf regarding the
cgi-bin..
I can't remember what it was, but I'll look and see if I can find what I
added...
I have a few 8.2 boxes serving perl scripts, so it does work.. just gotta
tell it about the cgi-bin
offhand, make sure you have a Directory entry for the cgi-bin:
<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride All
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
And that your ScriptAliases are setup:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /protected-cgi-bin/ /var/www/protected-cgi-bin/
failing that, try settting it up with webmin.. or wait till someone with a
better memory tells you what they added to get it working.
