I'm fiddling around with an Apache web server, and would like to try some perl stuff. I downloaded activeperl from activestate.com, put the exec cmd tag in the html code, pointing to the script, but I can't get it to work! I get an 'internal server error' when I try to access the .pl itself directly.

Anything to do with Apache's access rights to the cgi-bin directory? I've putted the cgi-bin dir under htdocs.
