Ah, that might explain why what was a working 1.3.2 system has become a 1.3.3
system that won't handle perl scripts. :) Fortunately, it's only the one that's
used for development.

I supped the latest pkgsrc today (2pm UK), built and installed and now I get the
above error when trying to access scripts. Below are a couple of lines from the
relevant error_log and access_log:

access_log:
oak.largesalad.co.uk - - [04/Dec/1998:21:20:22 +0000] "GET /tp.html HTTP/1.0"
200 331
oak.largesalad.co.uk - - [04/Dec/1998:21:20:29 +0000] "POST /cgi-bin/perldb.cgi
HTTP/1.0" 500 625

error_log:
[Fri Dec  4 21:20:29 1998] [error] (13)Permission denied: exec of
/var/www/docs/www.largesalad.co.uk/cgi-bin/perldb.cgi failed

headers: /var/www/docs/www.largesalad.co.uk/cgi-bin/perldb.cgi

Will disabling mod_perl cure this?

Dave
