in reply to mod_perl setup problems

I've got the permissions right now with a little help from bob-n, but apache doesn't seem to be using mod_perl to interpret the script. As stated above httpd.conf has the following lines (right at the bottom, if it matters):

Alias /perl/ /home/homedir/www/

PerlModule Apache::Registry
<Location /perl/>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Registry
    Options +ExecCGI
    PerlSendHeader On
    Allow from all
</Location>

I took that example directly from practical mod_perl so I assume it should work. What happens is the sever just prints out the text of the script.

    Let me tell you by experience that what you want to do, is just undoing all the security done to your preconfigured server. It is difficult to do this because of the precautions thought by the expert webmasters.

    You should read more about all. Webmin is a good tool to manage the global vision about your server. You are able to see the whole context and then make specifical changes.

    Webmin should be installed and running at port 10000. Try running http://localhost:10000 to see if it is working.

    And then, read as much as you can about it, in it's help file.

    To download it for *NIX systems, see the https://sourceforge.net/projects/webadmin/ page. This masterpiece is done completely in Perl.
