I don't know if you're still having this problem, but when I look at it,
I don't even see an  tag, which doesn't seem to bother Netscape

sounds like an http headers problem.  what do you see with a telnet
request?  probably not a complete set of httpd headers, try adding:
PerlSendHeader On
in your config

and he's probaly got something there--but if netscape is
getting eperl-processed html and explorer is getting the
source to the perl-bristled code, there's something very
odd going on there.

whether you use lynx or opera or icab, the browser should
get what the server sends out, and -- UNLESS you have 
browser-specific settings somewhere -- they should ALL
receive the exact same stuff.

i.e. if you turn off eperl, then everyone will see the
perl that bristles throughout your html. if it's on
and working, then all browsers will get the resulting 
html markup.

...unless you have some browser-specific gizmo happening,
which (if my fading gray cells are working) is possible
in apache.


[as a security measure, to hide the inner workings of our
website, we use .htaccess frequently to enable eperl here
and there while letting the user think everything is just
a plain old html file, as in:
# .htaccess settings file:

SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::ePerl
Options +ExecCGI

hopefully this will make it more difficult for black-hatted
sniffers to know what's happening behind the scenes... 
now if we could only get apache to not identify itself 
in the "Server:" header...]

IE quite brilliantly ignores the MIME type specified in the header
in some cases... If you send IE a Content-Type: text/plain 
document that happens to begin with  then it will render it
as HTML... This sounds like a related problem, but with the opposite effect:
that is to say, it's now NOT rendering when it should be.

I don't think you are using the Files directive properly.
It seems to have some Directory information as well as Files information.

Try something like this:


  
SetHandler  perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::ePerl
Options +ExecCGI

I've tried setting the default type to text/html in the httpd.conf file and 
that didn't seem to do the trick.

I appreciate the input that I've received.

I've also noticed that both browsers display the code, although they format 
the html properly, when I try to execute the script inside of a standard 
.html document.  I know that's not the standard (embedded Perl should have 
.iphtml extensions - at least that's the way it seems to be).  Yes, I have 
made the appropriate changes in the httpd.conf file:

PerlModule Apache::ePerl
   
   Options +ExecCGI
   SetHandler  perl-script
   PerlHandler Apache::ePerl
   

You can see this now at http://www.uncricket.com/index1.html

Thanks again for any input.

Probabaly because IE looks after yor extension instead of your
content-type (if you have any...)
try setting the type ".iphtml" for IE in your registry, this should prove
it...
you will have to use another extension for your files if this is true
