ExecCGI question

[neostrife]

Thanks for looking at this. If there's a forum that would be better suited for this question please let me know.

 

Problem:

 

I'm running apache2 and am trying to have perl scripts that use binaries owned by root consistently run in public_html. When I try to have these scripts run the browser tries to download the script's source, but even after downloading the source the file is blank. I am able to execute simple perl scripts that don't use binaries (for example, a hello script works fine).

 

None of my scripts have bugs, they are set to 755, and the directory is set to 755 - and I am able to use them on servers that aren't my own and they run in terminal with no problems. I'm not using mod-perl.

 

What didn't work:

chown www-data:www-data myscript.pl
chown -R www-data:www-data public_html

The top part of my sites-enabled file:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>

        ServerAdmin Me
        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .pm
        DocumentRoot /home/me/public_html
