There are a couple of things happening. Your error message page needs
be setup and an AddHandler Directive is needed in you httpd.conf.

Very Newbee to OSX Perl
I have been running cgi(s) created by MacPerl on an OS9 (Appleshare
6.3..) server for about 5 years.
I have now brought up an new server running OSX 10.3x.
I need to migrate these scripts or a modified version of them to the
OSX box.
I figured out how to set the file permissions using chmod 755 filename
and turning on CGI Execution on the server.
I did the test of running "test-cgi" sample script on the OSX box and
it works fine. (See the results below.)
I am using Affrus as the editor and have set the linefeeds to "Unix".
What I can't get going are my OS9 scripts.
When I execute my scripts, the browser is redirected to
"http://foo.example.com/cgi-bin/tester"; (don't know where that came
from)
I just commented out this line in my httpd.conf. If you have a place
with custom error messages you can set that.
I wrote a simple script to create a web page using Affrus. It only
allows me to save as a ".pl" document.
When I execute it, I get a text version of the page. Like the browser
only sees the output as a text file.
What if any initial setting are there in OSX I need to set.
Is there a cgi call I need to reference or activate?
add a directive
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
