modperl doesn't need to have perl installed because it has it embedded. Have you tried to put your script into your /perl directory and run it using Apache::Registry? But most probably it'll have problems anyway because it'll require perl libraries: CGI, strict, etc... unless it's a really generic script.

But with it, it can not find /usr/bin/perl (thanks to the chroot), and, of course, fails :-p bit of a catch 22-can't run with it, can't run without it. So after reading the various responses, as well as some additional web searching, I have gone ahead and copied /usr/bin/ perl to /var/www/usr/bin/perl so the script can see/access /usr/bin/ perl, even when chrooted. This, at least, gets rid of the cant find file/directory and invalid exec format errors. I'm still getting a "premature end of script headers" error when I try to run it though Apache, however. Running the test script as "chroot /var/www/ /cgi- bin/test.cgi" gives an "Abort trap" error. Running it normally (not chrooted) works. Obviously I do not have a proper install of perl in my chroot. Sigh. I'll keep trying.
