Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.26 Server at www.theted.org Port 80

I am running php for the main site, but I like using perl....php works fine, and runs out of the document root. Whenever I try to execute perl, I get the above message, even though the code is in the perl root. perl is installed and runs locally... I'm not running any proxy servers that I know of...I checked my httpd.conf file, and it looked 'right'...what am I missing??
I already have the script directory aliased in my conf file...
ARGH!!! is there some security setting I need to turn on?

[Thanatos]

just a bump...

[Thanatos]

I fixed it. Apparently, unbidden, perl proxies it's output to 8200. Anyone know why it would do that?? I want it going to 80..

Okay, this ocurred because I was running apache and apache_mod_perl at the same time--the latter is a full-fledged apache server with built in perl supprt....since it is another apache server, it used its own port, 8200. I didn't want that, so I uninstalled mod_perl entirely...I still can't seem to get the native perl to operate with my server. when I added

<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>

to my httpd.conf file, it gave me "Invalid command 'PerlHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration. This should be easy to fix by putting the appropriate module in the mods directory, or if it is there, putting a pointer to it in my httpd.conf file...stay tuned....

[Thanatos]

okay, I give up for now. If anyone can tell me how to install perl into apache without using mod_perl, I'd appreciate it....
