RE: [expert] permissions for a cgi script
Add a second Directory block for the cgi-bin directory. In that block, in the options, add ExecCGI as an option. Todd Lyons on this list helped me with this the other day and I am happy to pass it on. If you need a copy of mine, I can get it for you when I get back to my normal work location.

RE: [expert] permissions for a cgi script
Thanks James ... The command alone didn't do it but I found the mod_perl page and some other apache documentation that I think will complete the task. I appreciate your help.
