parsing Perl files like PHP

[RandyRiegel]

How can I make apache parse Perl files (.pl) like it does .php . The only way I can get .pl files to run are when they are in 'cgi-bin' directory, I want them to run anyway in the webspace. I've tried all kinds of things trying to get this to work with no luck.

In your httpd.conf make sure it looks like this.

    # If you want to use server side includes, or CGI outside
    # ScriptAliased directories, uncomment the following lines.
    [i]AddHandler cgi-script .pl .cgi[/i]

And make sure you don't specify ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ within your VirtualHost.
