Why does browser want to open up perl script with editor?

[Fred OGrady]

Hi everyone,

I know I must be doing something wrong here:

I am trying to configure sql-ledger.

from:  file:///usr/local/sql-ledger/index.html I click on "Logon" (a link to file:///usr/local/sql-ledger/logon.pl).  My Browser wants to open logon.pl with my default text editor.  I am sure I have the permissions set to execute.

Apache has no problems executing other cgi scripts.  It has got to be something simple,  could anyone point me in the right direction (which RTFM)?

It is not a critical application, but I would like to know where I am going wrong.

(I also know I probably shouldn't be running x on this "desktop"/server either, but performance hasn't been a problem.
