may be configuration problem

[Kemin Zhou <ke...@ferring.com>]

I am new to mod_perl.  Installed the most recent mod_perl
passed nearly all the test.

The most recent Apache

Web server working fine, CGI working fine.  I have used CGI in the past.
No problem.

Now I am switching to mod_perl; with the following configuration in 
httpd.conf

PerlModule Apache2
Alias /perl/  /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/
<Location /perl>
        #SetHandler modperl
        SetHandler perl-script
#       PerlInterScope handler # will not work, copied from Apache 2 book
        PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
        PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
        Options +ExecCGI
</Location>

The only problem is when a simple script

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#test.pl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
Print "<html><head>....<./head><body> foo bar </body></html>";



When requested from the browser, it  displays the source of my code (the 
literal of the two lines above) not the end result of HTML parsing
(foo bar).
This must be due to a silly error on my part.  Can someone give me a 
starting point?

That means that Apache doesn't know it has to run it. How do you issue your 
request? It should be:

http://example.com/perl/test.pl
                   ^^^^^^
What does get added to logs/access_log when you run this request?
