Re: PERL not working.

Apache just isn't configured to catch .pl extensions and translate
them through the Perl interpreter.
I haven't actually done this work (aside from installing mod_perl,
making sure the module is loaded and making sure .pl is interpreted)
so that's the best I can do right now.

Just to test the script, you can do "perl scriptname.pl" from the
commandline to see the output.

Thanks,

free scope.
