in reply to New to CGI, but having problems

Hi,

With cgi-bin generally can help following trick :

place file .htaccess in your directory : 

   AddHandler perl-script .pl
   <Files *.pl>
      Options +ExecCGI
   </Files>

[download]
After this you can use your .pl files outside cgi-bin directory

Try this solution. It should work on many hostings.

Note: AllowOverride FileInfo must be enabled

    that seems like a devilish solution! .. how do you Allow override, bearing in mind that i am not the adminstrator of the server, and we are not allowed to run system commands!
