Re: mod_perl, apache and permissions

that is probably not a perl problem, but one of apache's configuration. the following snippet should be able to solve your problem:

   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
   <Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
      AllowOverride None
      Options +ExegCGI -Multiviews
      Order allow,deny
      allow from all
   </Directory>

Thanks for trying, but the situation remains unchanged even with the Options set to +ExecGCI -Multiviews. Other perl scripts were working fine even without those directives. I'm sure this is not a perl problem. What's weird is that all I'm doing is fetching a page from another server, yet apache's security gets in the way of that. I saw that apache does not allow much to happen in cgi-bin for security reasons. I had to write my script data out to /var/www/html/DATA. Is it that apache is set up to regect any input that is not "trusted"? Any other ideas?	[reply]
