So this is an Apache server issue and not Perl ?

What OS?

What version Apache?

What version Perl ?

Have you checked for execute permissions on the directory ?

Have you read the Apache documentation and enabled perl .pl files as being executable within the Apache configuration ?


Next time you have a problem could you just try a tiny bit harder to present the forumn with more information to allow people to assist you!
