Unfortunately the next problem is that the script I'm working on just

Make sure you set up the handler for the file type properly and named the file
accordingly. I don't know how much experience you have with the mod_perl
stuff, but you'll properly be best off if you read and understand the short
introduction which handles server setup and a basic script:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html
That moves pretty fast without enough explanation. I am reading other
Apache2 docs now. The Apache 1.3 sample config file contained examples
which were very close to what was needed to just run Perl scripts from
~user/public_html/*/cgi-bin which is all I need to do. The sample
apache2 config file didn't seem to.
I guess I have it now! I am getting Perl error messages showing my
recent Perl coding mistakes.
Thanks for your patience,
Paul
