I just added a test script for perl. Perl is enabled on the domain.

Apache conf file

Alias /cgi-bin /var/www/virtual/mysite.com/cgi-bin

<Directory /var/www/virtual/mysite.com/cgi-bin>
DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.pl
AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes Limit Options=Indexes
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

# ls -l

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37 Nov 7 10:41 test.pl

# perl test.pl
Hi there!

What is the URI that you called exactly?
What is the content of your script exactly?

Perl

# cat test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hi there!\n";

I also have an old program I use called DBman by Gossamer Threads. That gives the sae problems.

That is because you perl script is wrong You cannot print in such way in perl CGI. The header is missing. See here: http://users.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave.Marshall/PERL/node196.html
