LinuxQuestions.org - problems with perl..

Hello, and thanks for looking at my post.

I am having a lot of problems running perl scripts on my server.

my installation is:
"Mandrakelinux-10.1-Community"

All my software came installed by default from the mandrake cds. All i did was check the box for webserver.
Everything is working fine on my server. I got 3 websites with their own domain names on the same server through VirtualHosts. I have php, mysql, and a whole bunch of useful things working. I got no complains there, mandrake linux is awsome.

My problem is that I cant get perl scripts working.
I made a "cgi-bin" folder in one of my site's root dir. I put my "FormMail.pl" script in there. When I try to use it, i get asked if i want to download "formmail.pl"

So I tried renaming the script to "FormMail.cgi", and i get this:
"NOT FOUND
The requested URL /cgi-bin/formmail.cgi was not found on this server."

I try creating a folder called "perl" and put my script there, rename it to "FormMail.pl", and......same problem.

One strange thing tho:
There is a "cgi-bin" folder in "/var/www/"
In that folder i found "test.cgi"
So i got that file and moved it to the cgibin folder of my site:
"/var/www/html/mysite1/cgi-bin"
I then went to "mysite1.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi" and....That script worked.

There was also another folder "/var/www/perl/". In that folder i found "test.pl".
I moved that script to "/var/www/html/mysite1/perl/" then i go to "mysite1.com/perl/test.pl" and it asks me if i want to download "test.pl" :wall:

Btw, i did set the chmod on my script to 755, i even tried 777, but still no good results.

So I am really stuck here. I got most of my help to get my server started from google, But google is not being so helpful on this problem. I did get help here with virtualhosts, so I am hoping someone can help me out again with this new problem.

Thank you all who take the time to read this...
