While configuring with apache and perl cgi scripts, don't know why index.cgi/index.pl are displayed as plain text instead of executing them.
When I put http://localhost in browser it displays below code, instead of executing it.
List item
#!C:/Dwimperl/perl/bin/perl.exe -w
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<HTML;
<html>
<head>
<title>A perl web page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>A hello world form perl</h3>
</body>
HTML
exit;
This are parts of httpd.conf file which I have edited most of the times (after reading various online reference, tutorials)
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
<Directory "D:\webserver">
Listen 80
ServerName localhost:80
LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.cgi index.pl
AccessFileName .htaccess
# To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:
# (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)
#
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Apache/Apache2/cgi-bin/"
