Yup that fixed it, setting the handler via $r->handler('cgi-script') in a FixupHandler
works. The table in the mod_perl cookbook (pg452) says is all. I must have overlooked
that bit of information while I was banging my head on the my desk trying to get this
to work.
Thanks for the help and the book too ;)
