Re: Apache not executing Perl script,but perl script is getting downloaded. (Apache Users)

I tested it on apache and found that it doesn't work. This method is successful in running php-cgi. Use mod_perl instead of CGI-perl. It gives better performance.

Hi Nilesh,

Inorder to use Action directive,should i copy the perl binary to cgi-bin directory?

Thanks,

I'd rather say use mod_actions. Link your perl binary to cgi-bin and specify Options +FollowSymLinks in cgi-bin directory configuration. Then use this -

AddHandler perl-script .pl

Action perl-script /cgi-bin/perl-bin

This will interpret .pl anywhere found using the perl binary interpreter. But the directory .pl file exists must have ExecCGI enabled if its not cgi-bin.

Hello,

With ScriptAlias, you don't actually need Option (+)ExecCGI. You
simply need to allow access to that directory.

Also, make sure that the mod_cgi module is loaded, and you should be good to go.
