in reply to How to configure Apache for running perl scripts.

Did you add something like Options +ExecCGI between <Directory> and </Directory>?.

What does the error log say? In my experience, you can solve 95% of your configuration problems by looking at it.

    the error log says ExecCGI is off.
    There are lots of <Directory> tabs present.
    So can you please specify in which directory tab I should put the "Options +ExecCGI"

      Er, in all the directories where you want CGIs to be executed of course.

      Looking at your configuration snippets, the <Direcory "/var/www/html1"> section seems like a good candidate.

        Yes I have added the line.
        But the error log is still saying that "ExecCGI is off"...........
