Bug#763582: apache2: Apache2 cannot run CGI scripts in "jessie"

[Robert Jäschke <robert-j@gmx.de>]

Package: apache2
Version: 2.4.10-5
Followup-For: Bug #763582

Dear Maintainer,

I upgraded from wheezy to jessie and now my Perl-based CGI scripts don't work.
I followed many suggestions to improve and upgrade my config and finally came
up with the following content in my sites-enabled/my_home.conf file:

# allow CGI scripts for user rja
ScriptAlias /~rja/cgi-bin/ "/home/rja/public_html/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/home/rja/public_html/cgi-bin/">
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
    AllowOverride None
    Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +ExecCGI
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Unfortunately, CGI scripts are still not executed: the browser always
downloads/shows the plain source code of the script.

mod_cgid and mod_perl are both installed and enabled.

This seems to be related to this bug, I hope it's not a configuration error on
my side.
