If you didn't remove the manual that Apache installs, you should have on your system: http://myserver/manual/howto/cgi.html For mod_perl, see http://perl.apache.org > > For starters, I tried to put a script at my local apache web > server root > directory, and the server just displays the contents as > text...sounds like a > web server setting is wrong like an alias... Well, you can't just throw things out there and hope they work. You have to set the server up to handle CGI scripts. See the link above. > > I read a little about apache alias for mod_perl and am > confused. Can you use > a normal server where perl scripts run and there is no alias > of perl to > mod_perl?

Once this is properly installed and configured, Apache can run your scripts via this "built-in" Perl. Your scripts cannot "call" or "use" mod_perl; it must be installed and configured into the Apache server. All discussed in great detail at the site given above.
