problem, pulling my dam hair out
I have the following config:
apache 1.3.22 with perl 1.26 built statically
I want to use perl to dynamically generate html pages, so I have .pl
files under DOCUMENT_ROOT.
I have this config:
Alias /perl /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin
<Directory /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin >
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>
<Files *.pl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options ExecCGI
</Files>
Whenever I try and get a perl script from a web browser, it pops up a
dialog asking to save the damn file. I have tried Netscape 4.79 on NT
and Unix as well as IE 5.5. I have configured a server in this manner
probably 100 times, I cannot find what I a missing this particuliar
time.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Chuck

let the guide be with you:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/config.html#My_Script_Works_under_mod_cgi_b
PerlSendHeader On
is missing if you use CORE::print() to send headers

The content type is not getting rigth to the browser !
If you are using a funny extension for your files you need the apache
AddType directive.
AddType text/html .myextension
Maybe you are just forgeting to send the http Content-Type: text/html as your
first instruction. There are many ways to do it:
print "Content-Type:text/html\n\n";
or
use CGI qw/:standard/;
print header;
or the mod_perl way....
In any case, you miss to Put a mod_perl directive "PerlSendHeader on" (to fix
malformer headers) in your directory configuration.

Hi, Chuck: For starters, is the line above correct:
> Alias /perl /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin
or should you use: Alias /perl/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/
The other thing you might check in that area, is a line that says something
like:
AddHandler cgi-script .pl .cgi
I'm running SuSE7.1, and Apache1.3.14 with a documentRoot of
/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/

Are you setting the content-type header correctly? You can add the correct
content type a number of ways:
- Adding "DefaultType text/html" to your httpd.conf
- Using the AddType directive in httpd.conf to single out .pl files
- Add .pl files to your mime types config file (pointed to by TypesConfig)
- Set it dynamically from your scripts using $r->content_type('text/html')
