Help trying to get perl script to run in Apach 1.3

[Bill Warren]

Hello,

I running Debian Sarge with Apache 1.3 and Perl 5.8 and I trying to get 
a JabberChat from http://www.prowler-pro.com/jabberchat/ to run.   I 
know that Apache and Perl are playing together because I dselected 
Gallery from http://gallery.sf.net installed and it works great.  When I 
click on the link to start the chat program it wants to download the 
.cgi files not run them on the server.   I have created the dir 
/var/www/jabberchat for the program but, I don't know where in my 
/etc/httpd.conf I need to have what.

Thanks,
Bill
