Perl Script Execution Issues

[dasuser]

I have a message board written in perl (Kareha, for future reference) I would like to use on my webspace at bbs.exofire.net. However, it will only execute in /cgi-bin/. This would be fine, save for the fact that the script generates static html files which cannot be served out of /cgi-bin/.

Attempts to run the script when it is outside of /cgi-bin/ result in the perl files opening for download instead of executing.

File permissions on all .pl files are set to 755, all other files are 644.

Any help is appreciated.

The CGI-BIN folder is the only place that you can execute perl files on your account.

You could try using mod_rewrite to redirect requests to the cgi-bin folder transparently.
