Yes, but I had a BITCH of a time just getting all THIS to build! Now that it (mostly) works, time to upgrade in the fall.... my $r = shift; $r->send_http_header('text/plain'); $r->print("mod_perl (2) rules!\n"); Looks good #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"; print "mod_perl (1) rules!\n"; exit Why the exit ? I was trying ANYTHING I could think of to fix this problem.... #Alias          /perl/ /usr/local/apache/perl/ You need that Alias for the below location For production, I was planning on it. For testing, I just put the scripts in $DOCUMENT_ROOT/perl/ PerlModule              Apache::Registry <Location /perl/>   SetHandler           perl-script   PerlHandler          Apache::Registry   Options              +ExecCGI   Allow from all   PerlSendHeader       On Not your problem, but you dont' want to send the headers in both script and via this switch. Well, I figured that if it rendered AND I saw headers, I could easily fix that. "Two is better than none." <grin> </Location> PerlFreshRestart On PerlWarn On PerlTaintCheck On Where's the cgi-bin config ? i.e.: Script Alias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin <Directory "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin>     AllowOverride None     Options None     Order allow,deny     Allow from all </Directory> I did not include it, as the CGI stuff is working, but here it is:    <Directory "/htdocs/wip2">        Options All        AllowOverride None        Order allow,deny        Allow from all        php_admin_value open_basedir "/SAP0/htdocs/wip2/"    </Directory>    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/htdocs/wip2/cgi-bin/" And, here's something "significant" I left out: AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl Any more thoughts? BTW, thanks for offering to help! Christine.
