Thank you.

I understand what you are saying about the script being invoked as a CGI script. I also understand that the AddHandler in the .htaccess file may not be enough to change that. (I tried adding AddHandler fastcgi-script .pl to the .htaccess file per beech's suggestion. That results in a 404 error -- same as with AddHandler fcgid-script .pl. EDIT: Same result using cpanel to set either of those as a user-specific handler.)

I'm afraid I don't see a mention of a VirtualHost entry in HostGator reply #2, but I think I understand in very general terms what one is. If I'm going to change the server itself, even by changing the vhost file for my domain, I'm either going to have to change it myself through cpanel -- and I don't see a way to do that -- or tell them exactly what I want them to do. I'll need to research virtual host files I guess, unless someone here knows . . . . Please let someone here know!
