Sorry. Fumble finger syndrome. I thought I had selected the link to reply to the list.

No need for apologies. I have been insanely busy myself.

It hasn't stopped here, yet. ;-)

No such file or directory: exec of '/srv/www/cgi-bin/printenv.pl' failed

Clearly the file is there but execution fails. I think the file has appropriate permissions set but the wrong owner:

...

-rwxr-xr-x 1 wwwrun root 301 Dec 20 00:18 printenv.pl

Contents of '/srv/www/cgi-bin/' should be root:root

See here:

I wonder if apache, at least on Suse, is not dealing with file ownership in precisely that way. Perhaps the section dealing with permissions is referring only to permissions and not ownership? I don't know what the author there intended, but I do know that I DID solve the problem. I had used the following command to convert my Windows scripts to use unix style end-of-record.

find . -type f -exec dos2unix -k -s -o {} ';' <snipped>

Did I overlook this aspect of the scenario or did you omit it from your original post? I've been bitten by this exact problem in the past -- invariably with files by clients who are oblivious to the difference.
