Hi,
Newbie here -- my Apache2 install is downloading the .pl script I have
instead of executing it as a CGI. How do I make it work as a CGI?

As a secondary note -- is there a really good resource to understand how the
apache conf files work? I see the apache documentation, but am having
trouble getting some documentation on the big picture, answering questions
like how to read and understand the conf file, what the general format is,
and what is meant when things have 'allow,deny', etc. in them?

Thanks,
Matt

Do you have this statement included in your conf file for the CGI directory?

Options +ExecCGI

Cheers,

Also put the handler statement in the same directory

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

so it looks like

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

or what ever extension you are using for the cgi programs.
