If you found nothing because there is nothing to find, then you can be sure that apache didn't try to run the file as a CGI script, but delivers it as plain text.

Which means that there is no AddHandler cgi-script .pl directive active.

You could try to post the relevant parts of your apache configuration file here, maybe somebody can tell you what went wrong.

(Just to be sure, you restarted the web server after changing the config, right? and you access your pages via http://127.0.0.1/ ?)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
