Bizarre problem running CGI script

I'm ready to tear my hair out!!!

Here is one conf file:

=============

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
# ServerName www.LittleRedRidingHood.info
ServerName lrrh.dlugosz.com
ServerAlias lrrh.lamp4
DocumentRoot /var/www/lrrh/docroot
ErrorLog /var/www/lrrh/logs/error_log
CustomLog /var/www/lrrh/logs/access_log combined


AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
Options +ExecCGI




Deny from all



SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache2::Status



==============

Here is another conf file:

==============

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName wiki.dlugosz.com
ServerAlias wiki.lamp4
DocumentRoot /var/www/wiki/docroot
ErrorLog /var/www/wiki/logs/error_log
CustomLog /var/www/wiki/logs/access_log combined



AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
Options +ExecCGI



Deny from all



SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache2::Status





=============

This is Apache 2.2.3 running on Debian Etch 64-bit.
The permissions and owner/group on the respective docroot directories
are the same.
A minmal file "first.pl" copied right from the Apache manual, given
execute permission, is placed in the docroot directory. It is copied to
the other.

One works, one doesn't.

Why?

I'm running this on a LAN clone of the server, so my test is using the
ServerAlias name for both. The one that doesn't work will download the
file in the browser, rather than running it.

There is nothing in the global file (apache2.conf) that mentions either
of these, so the settings that are right for one should be right for the
other, right?


The log shows "200" when the file is downloaded (not run), and there is
nothing in the error log.
Is there any way to tell what Apache is thinking when it decides how to
handle a request?

TIA,
--John
