Hi, I recently setup a webserver on my slackware system (http://x2.dyn.ee). I uninstalled the perl that was installed as default and I need it back and I need to configure it with Apache 2.0.47.

Thanks,
Jason

^ Perl 5.8.0 for Slackware.

For Apache:
Just add a

<Directory "/path/to/a/cgi/bin">
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

and this to your vhost

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /path/to/a/cgi/bin

This works great on my Slack9 box with Apache 1.3.27 compiled from the source. Im sure Apache2 works in the same way :)
