[TriLUG] Apache with mod_perl

[Corey]

O.K., I'm getting somewhere because the script is no longer opening as a
text document revealing the source code.  But...I am now getting a 404
error.

I then

sudo chmod 0755 /var/www /cgi-bin/ and sudo chmod 0755
/var/www/cgi-bin/env_variables.pl.

Still no luck, any ideas why the script won't execute?
