It doesn't look right to me no. That is similar to what you would use to enable mod_perl (http://perl.apache.org).
I'm assuming you just want straight CGI, try the Apache FAQ: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ-F.html And see if that helps, it's the scriptalias directive that needs to be set. Make sure your Perl scripts have permissions for world to execute them, what error messages do you get when you try to use them?

Hi Nigel, Thanks for the info! I have the below entry in my httpd.conf file. Is this basically all I need to enable perl?

You can check that perl is there by asking for it's version /usr/bin/perl -v You will need to check your Apache configuration file httpd.conf to make sure that Perl is enabled. The Apache documentation should help you there. Not sure about the books, Apache help and lists usually help enough for Server set-ups, so I only usually buy books on coding.

Hi, Is there a way I can check my server to see if my perl setup and configuration is running OK and ready to run cgi scripts? I've run pre written perl cgi scripts for a few years on a shared server but recently set up my own server and for some reason I can't seem to get my long used cgi script running. I think my path settings are correct in my config files for the script - /usr/bin/perl, but how can I check to see if perl is actually ready to go on my server and being accessed by the cgi scripts OK? I use Linux 7.3, apache 1.3.23 and perl 5.6.1 Also, can anyone recommend a good beginning perl book geared towards running cgi scripts on a Linux machine, which emphasizes server setup and installing/configuring ready made perl scripts, also with some beginning perl programming instruction included? Amazon has over 170 titles and I don't know where to start!
