Anything in the cgi-bin (or similar) directory is assumed to be an
executable script. If it is a perl script (starts with #!/<perl path>/perl),
then perl gets called. The interpreter then runs as a separate process. (You
can try `ps -efl` to see whats happening)

Does this help?

Subject: How does Apache invoke Perl interpreter


Hi,

I want to do some research on Perl's transplantability, so I would like
to
know how an Apache server invokes Perl interpreter - in the case of
mod_cgi instead of mod_perl.

If anyone knows, or can redirect me to some documentation on the
mechanism
of Apache, please give me a hint. Thank you.

Leon
