PERL DOES NOT WORK

[webdotapp]

Hello,

I have tried to place following simple .pl script in web/domain/cgi-bin folder, and given its 755 permission, but when i try to load it into browser, it asks to download the file instead of execution.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "content-type: text/html \n\n";

Please help. Thanks

Code: Select all

<Directory /your-directory>
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
</Directory>

[host79]

didn't work, still asking for download page

[host79]

need to change web template in domain properties to 'phpcgi' and then put this .htaccess in public_html folder.

Code: Select all

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +ExecCGI
