That looked pretty neat, so we tried to add it to our httpd.conf file. It's
not running though, and seems to be trying to open and run Perl.
Should the Perl module need to be included in the apache server? or some
kind of path be set somewhere?
We can run perl from cgi-bin already.
(I'm no apache expert)

Thanks,
Richard.
