Owen, you were right (and Rick hinted upon it too) Thanks guys!
For Apache 2.0.53 (Ubuntu) there is a config file called in
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000default that links to
/etc/apache2/sites-available (virtual host configuration) that had the
directive
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
in which I changed to
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
And so that's that. Make sure though that after you save the .pl script to
chmod 0755
Thanks again for everyone's help.
