Oops, wrong key. I might have accidently sent an unfinished reply to this.
Yes, you need to make the script executable first.
Also, you will need a line like the following in srm.conf to tell apache
that the directory contains scripts:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/aromes/public_html/cgi-bin
and restart the server.
so an URL like http://localhost/cgi-bin/query.pl will run the script
/home/aromes/public_html/cgi-bin/query.pl
scripts can also be identified by extension (and be in any directory) with
the AddHandler directive. There are examples for both of these in the *.conf
files.
