Are you setting the content-type header correctly? You can add the correct
content type a number of ways:
- Adding "DefaultType text/html" to your httpd.conf
- Using the AddType directive in httpd.conf to single out .pl files
- Add .pl files to your mime types config file (pointed to by TypesConfig)
- Set it dynamically from your scripts using $r->content_type('text/html')
