It doesn't look like a problem with your web server (apache) but more a problem
with the script you are trying to run with it.
Try this, create a text file with this information inside it:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print ("Content-type: text/html\n\n");
print ("Hello World!\n");
save it in a file called text.pl
run the command
`chmod 755 test.pl`
put it in your cgi-bin directory, then go to it using a web broswer, it should
work. If not, send the error messages from your error_log
Have you tried configuring the shopper cgi script? I honestly don't think it
is a problem with apache, but a issuse with the cgi script that your it's self.
