CGI Files Download and Won't Execute


I cannot get Perl files to execute. They just download. I set permissions right and here is my CONF file:


<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
ServerName domain.org
ServerAlias www.domain.org
DocumentRoot /home/vhosts/domain.org/httpdocs
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/domain.org-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/domain.org-access_log combined
HostnameLookups Off
UseCanonicalName Off
ServerSignature On
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/vhosts/domain.org/httpdocs/"
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

<Directory "/home/vhosts/domain.org/httpdocs/">
AllowOverride All
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
Include /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf
</IfModule>

</VirtualHost>

Firstly it's a bad (really BAD) idea to mix cgi & html locations.
Perl/cgi is not like PHP in that respect.

Secondly: do you actually have the relevant module loaded/enabled?
Code:
LoadModule cgi_module ....


Cheers,
Tink
