Package: libapache2-mod-perl2
Version: 2.0.2-2
Hi,
When I try to retrieve Perl scripts from Apache, Apache gives me the
source (the scripts aren't executed).
I saw in the /etc/apache2 2 directories : mods-enabled and
mods-available, it seemed to me that one had to link
mods-available/<module-name>.{conf,load} to mods-enabled (deducing
after looking at a few).
For PHP, there is a line in the .conf that says to associate .php with
some mimetype that will be interpreted (I guess).
But the "perl.conf" contains only : "
# This file is a placeholder; you can safely ignore or delete it.
" (without the quotes),
and the .pl files aren't interpreted by perl.
I don't think it should be the default behavior, so I report this as a bug.
I'm a newbie with Perl, so I can't give you a fix, but I don't think
it's very difficult though.
thanks !

Sorry, but this is definitely not a bug.
There are many ways to use mod_perl, and there should not be a single
default config. If someone was distributing perl-scripts from a
MP-enabled server, it could have security implications to just enable
running them just like that.
Please read the documentation to learn how to use it:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html
I hope the maintainer doesn't mind that I close it.
