Hi Stas,
Thank you for your speedy response. Now, when I try to run the script (http://www.mydoamin.com/perl/test.pl) I get a "404 - file not found page" and get the following message in the error log. "/usr/local/httpd_perl/cgi-bin/test.pl not found or unable to stat" I was getting this message until I changed the proxy setting and added another line (ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/user-name/public_html/cgi-bin/) in my backend server configuration file. Could you please give me some idea what needs to done now? Here is my revised config files.
