Hi, This should be a simple question, but i've not been able to figure it
out searching around in apache.org or perl.org.

I'm running an old freebsd 2.2.6 install with perl (i think version5) and
apache.

I have a FormMail.pl script located in side a document root with rwxr_x__x
permissions that allows execution by any random user in a shell script.

However, when the contact.html form hits the script, the browser wants to
know if I would like to download the file.

I'm sure there is something simple i've missed in the httpd.conf file, and i
think it migh be that I just don't know how to configure the following
commmented out lines in my httpd.conf file, but the bottom line is, i'm
stuck.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

is this my problem?  do i need to uncomment and modify these lines? if so,
do you have an example I can follow.

Thanks in Advance.
