in reply to CGI script only works if named index.pl

Both the index.pl and about.pl have exactly the same owner and file permissions

Do they have exactly the same SELinux contexts?

    Ok, I read up on selinux and file contexts, and I think the about.pl file had the wrong context due to me originally creating it in another folder and copying it into cgi-bin. Thank you, I was absolutely stumped!
