Perl web server
I can execute a Perl script in the terminal (MacOSX) but cannot get that same Perl script to execute on a browser (ie Safari). I can upload that same script to my virtual Unix server and it executes just fine there. 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. # #Directory /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin Directory /users/jd/sites/cgi-bin AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory Directory /users/jd/sites/.../.../.../cgi-bin AllowOverride None Options None ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory

Where is the script you're trying to run located? How are you trying to get it to run in a browser, i.e. what URL are you browsing? What are its permissions? What are its line-breaks? What happens when you browse it?

(I assume your file system is not set up case sensitive?) Except AllowOverride None Options None This Order allow,deny Allow from all and this look kind of weird together, in reference to the directory name. Am I missing something? /Directory Directory /users/jd/sites/.../.../.../cgi-bin That path looks kind of unusual. I don't often see directories named Is it something Apache does that I've either never seen before or forgotten? AllowOverride None Options None ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory
