[wplug] ot perl question

[John Harrold]

Sometime in August Henry Umansky assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Try adding this to httpd.conf:
| 
| AddHandler cgi-script .pl

i had this. 

| If it still doesn't work also add this:
| 
| <Directory "/home/harrold/public_html">
|    AllowOverride None
|    Options None
|    Order allow,deny
|    Allow from all
| </Directory>

this doesn't make much sense to me. specifically:

|    AllowOverride None
|    Options None

doesn't this prevent cgi scripts from being executed?


fwiw i tried the above and got the following:

 You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either
 read-protected or not readable by the server.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
