[wplug] executing perl cgi scripts with apache2 on debian

[Poyner, Brandon]

Can you try moving the "AddHandler cgi-script .pl" outside of the
<Directory> and also insert a 
"AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .pl" ?  Both of these should be
unnecessary due to your ScriptAliasMatch which always assumes those
files will be handled by mod_cgi.  It also might not hurt to add
"ScriptLog /var/log/httpd/cgi-log" to see what's going on with mod_cgi.

Sometime in July Poyner, Brandon assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| I think you're using <Location> when you should be using <Directory>.
| That or change the <Location> to match the URL.
| 
| http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#location

Humm..

I moved everything to /var/www thinking that permissions in
/tmp might be mucking things up:

 <Directory /var/www/perltest>
   Options All
   AllowOverride All
   AddHandler cgi-script .pl
 </Directory>
 ScriptAliasMatch ^/perltest/ "/var/www/perltest/myfile.pl"
 ScriptAliasMatch ^/perltest "/var/www/perltest/myfile.pl"
I've tried both of the following:
   <Directory /var/www/perltest>
      ...
   </Directory>

   <Location /perltest>
      ...
   </Location>

separately. But it still doesn't work.

Any other thoughts?
