You're getting in deep water here, Wes. You should bring these questions to
a perl user list. From my limited understanding of Apache 1.3, (and a bit of
Apache 2), there's a separate perl cgi-bin directory that's used so there
might be some different settings in your Location directive. Whether it goes
in the perl.conf file is a matter of preference. If I did it, that's where
I'd put it since the changes I make to the conf files are pretty minimal.
