The Test CGI script works as a DCL command file.

In httpd.conf we added:
    AddHandler cgi-script .pl
AddHandler cgi-script .com

It also contain the include statement for mod_perl.conf
    Include /apache$root/conf/mod_per.conf

And enabled ExecCGI.
    <Directory "/*/*/public_html">
    Options +ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Since in unix the shell reads the first line for the document looking for the Shebang ( #!/usr/bin/perl) to indicate that its a perl script and should be run under Perl.

    So we tried putting the $ perl sys$input at the start for the Perl script and if run from the DCL prompt the script executes fine.

$ perl sys$input
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n";
printf "<html>\n";
printf "<body>\n";

printf "Hello, World.\n";

printf "</body>\n";
printf "</html>\n";

But if you try to exec it from the URL. You get:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, you@your.address and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

And the Error log reads:

malformed header from s
cript. Bad header=%DCL-W-IVVERB, unrecognized co: /apache$root/cgi-bin/first.pl

Without the first line in the Perl Script being "$ perl sys$input"
The Error log reads:

"malformed header from s
cript. Bad header=%DCL-W-NOCOMD, no command on l: /apache$root/cgi-bin/first.pl"

How can we get apache or mod_perl to recognize it as a perl script and execute Perl with this Script??????
