Sounds pretty strange. Do you have all firewalls turned off? I can imagine some sneaky firewall rejecting requests for anything ending in .pl. > > I checked the error logs and nothing shows up just the starting up of > Apache messages.

You could try mod_log_forensic, which logs the request much earlier in the process, to see if apache ever sees the request.
