Not a total solution but getting there.
Joshua Slive had some of the answer.
He enlightened me that I was using SSI and told me to used SetOutputFilter
and I read-up on the SSI howto.
So I can include JavaScript files and they work nicely. However perl
scripts in the cgi-bin directly stubbornly refuse to fire unless called by
an HREF tag.
The config is simple:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/"
Alias /javascript/ "/usr/local/www/javascript/"
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
<Directory "/usr/local/www/javascript/">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI +Includes
AddType text/html .html
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI +Includes
AddType text/html .html
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
The web page (index.html) is damn simple too:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/XHTML1/DTD/XHTML1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>It works! Or so I say.<br>David</h3>
<img src="/icons/apache_pb2.png" alt="Apache feather image2">
<A href="/cgi-bin/test.pl"> Test This </A>
<pre>
<!--#exec cmd="ls -l"-->
<!--#exec virtual="/cgi-bin/test.pl"-->
</pre>
</body>
</html>
And the perl script is trivial.
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n";
print "<h2>Work, damn it all!</h2>\n";
Any idea of what I'm missing? I'm going with html all pages will be using
dynamic HTML, if I can ever get it to work.
Does the new details ring bells with anybody?
Thanks, again.
Outstanding action: Contact the CGI HowTo doc people to put a ref to the
SSI HowTo doc.
