Thanks, you gave me the idea what to make of several other infos I read. I
added to http configuration:
<Directory "/var/www/html“> ## that is the document root
Options +ExecCGI:q:q
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
</Directory>
And the perl script /var/www/html/artikel/article.pl got executed.
But linie 3 of the script produced the next error message:
Can't locate CGI/Carp.pm in @INC
(you may need to install the CGI::Carp module)
(@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.36 /usr/local/share/perl5/5.36
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
The package perl-Carp is already installed (presumably as a dependency of
mod_perl) and I found
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Carp.pm
which is in the search path
Obviously, I miss something else.
Hello Perl experts, what else am I missing?
Thanks a lot in advance
