in reply to running perl script in apache

Try adding this to your httpd.conf for the relevant path(s):
Options +ExecCGI
Make sure the script is executable by the webserver. Also, the cgi-script handler is for CGI, not mod_perl. Mod_perl 2 configuration options are documented here

    Yep, I've already got that line in httpd.conf. All scripts are owned by apache, executable by everyone... I'm pretty sure it's a setup problem because I can't even get the stupid Hello World to print out, but I've not done perl thru cgi/apache before.
