Configuring mod_perl on Debian

["Ian D. Stewart" <idstewart@compuvative.com>]

Dear List,

I have been trying for the better part of the day to get Apache 
w/mod_perl working on a Debian Woody system.  With the help of the 
Configuration section of the mod_perl Guide, I have set up httpd.conf 
w/ mod_perl support, I have setup a /perl location with 
Apache::Registry as the PerlHandler, and I have copied a test script 
from /usr/share/doc/libapache-mod-perl/examples into /perl.  However, 
whenever I try to display http://localhost/perl/test.pl, the browser 
(Galeon-1.2.1) displays a dialog asking if I want to save the file to 
disk or open it with an external application.

here is the pertinant section of httpd.conf:

Alias /perl /var/www/perl

PerlModule Apache::Registry
<Location /perl>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Registry
    Options ExecCGI
    allow from all
    PerlSendHeader on
</Location>


Any clues as to what I may be doing wrong, or where to look for more 
info, would be greatly appreciated.


Regards,
Ian
