I would recommend checking your apache.conf file. Check that the directory where the scripts are is allowed to run them (just use the default cgi-bin directory configuration in apache.conf as reference). Second, check that perl exists and that it is in the location that the scripts are pointing to. Also, check that the files do not have those annoying dos encoding characters at the end of each line (using an editor like vi, joe, just do not use pico for that) they appear as ^M as I recall (that usually happens when you move files from a windows machine to your linux box). Is not likely to be the cause, but just in case take a look at that too. Good luck Jorge At 10:38 AM 1/25/2001 +0100, Martin Mielke wrote:

Dear all,

whenever a Perl script needs to be executed on the Apache server, its source code is shown on screen. Example: if I point my browser to our intranet like: http://intranet/scripts/test.pl I get "!#/usr/bin/perl ..." (without the quotes) and not what it's supposed to do (actually, show the intranet contents as Windowze-like folders).

What do I have to look for in order to get things working?

Thanks,

Martin
