Dear friends,

I know perl. But I don't know about perl CGI. I want to learn that. I have tried to configure the perl CGI. But I unable to do that.

Configuration I have done : In /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, I have added , 

 <Directory /home/leslie/public_html/>
             Options ExecCGI
             AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
          </Directory>

[download]
Then I have restart the apache server, While running the sample script with the extension of .cgi its simply prints the hole file content on the browser. 

System Env:

  Webserver: apache2
  OS       : ubuntu 10.4 

  Note: I am not root user.

Can some one help me to configure the CGI in my env
