[users@httpd] CGI Align QuestionS

[Apache Beginner <Ap...@reborn.org>]

Would anybody tell me how to let my cgi scripts runs anywhere under the
document root ?
ie, not restricted on "/cgi-bin/", but "./" is ok ?

The other question is, how to let .pl or .cgi be treated as Perl Script, but
also a valid index file ?
ie, I put index.pl under my doc root, and when I open http://localhost ,
then index.pl will run.

TIA,
Bob

Should be just /
And should come with:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Option ExecCGI

By priority:
DirectoryIndex index.pl index.htm index.html

All the best,
