Some pointers: - Is the first line of the script: #!/usr/bin/perl ?? or did you try the execution from the commandline by 'perl <script>' ?? - Make sure there's a handler for .cgi scripts (srm.conf) - Make sure permission are correct (executable for world) (httpd.conf) - You could try using ScriptAlias, maybe that'll give you something (httpd.conf)
