virtual host to cgi-bin file, perl file is not processed.

Hi all,

I was trying to create a virtual host pointing to a cgi-bin file
written in perl, but the file is not processed for the perl
interpreter.

the situation:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName test.mydomain.org
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/cgi-bin/test
DirectoryIndex input.pl
</VirtualHost>

On this example the file is read and processed if I access it from
/cgi-bin/ but is not processed if I use the virtual host approach. I
just get the perl code.

Any solution?
Thanks
John

If input.pl is in /cgi-bin/ it hast to be:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName test.mydomain.org
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/cgi-bin/
DirectoryIndex input.pl
</VirtualHost>

If it sits in /Library/WebServer/cgi-bin/test you maybe have to add the
slash at the end (I am not sure about this)

You might also want to add:
ScriptAlias /Library/WebServer/cgi-bin/
