Use /usr/lib/cgi-bin to put all perl scripts.
Don't forget to make your perl script executable and use proper extentsion (cgi,
pl)
chmod +x <your perl script filename>
Type in your browser: http://computer name/cg-bin/<your perl script filename>
In /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf, you should have the line:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin
