apache with cgi

[oommen at imaginetechnologies.com (Oommen Thomas)]

Did u have the following header line as the 1st print statement in the
perl cgi script?

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

This is necessary for the Webserver to identify what the output of the
script will have.

Thanks

<maitre>Hello,
<maitre>I was asked by a high power to create an interactive web site for
<maitre>our computer lab. Unfortuanlly have zero web experience. I was able
<maitre>to as far as trying to execute a perl cgi script. When i click 
<maitre>submit i get an error: Method not allowed, reqest post is not allowed
<maitre>for URL. I looked on the net and i get the impression that, you need
<maitre>to have a cgi dirctory in the access.conf file (oh yeah, and i'm
<maitre>sure that the permissions on the cgi-script are executable). Can
<maitre>any one confirm this? 
<maitre>
<maitre>I then tried to put the scripts in the directory that was suppose
<maitre>to be for cgi scripts, and i get an Internal Server Error. I did
<maitre>check permissions on this directory. I'm not convinced that this 
<maitre>cgi directory that i put the scripts in is the right directory. 
<maitre>
<maitre>Suggestions on how to fix these errors? 
<maitre>Thanks,
