this definitely sounds like a mod_autoindex issue > I've removed any DirectoryIndex directives. try Options +ExecCGI -Indexes or just Options ExecCGI don't forget to restart apache so the configuration changes are applied :) if that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas, save issuing a direct telnet request to your server to see what is actually coming off the wire. something like this should do the trick: $ telnet server.example.com 80 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to server.example.com (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. GET /index.pl HTTP/1.1 Host: server.example.com the last two lines are the ones you type, followed by two newlines.
