how to enable perl scripts from within httpdocs

[jujuthing]

hi list,
I need to run some perl scripts from httpdocs. my script runs fine from the cgi-bin directory and i've followed the advice from this article:
http://faq.sw-soft.com/index.php?ToDo=view&questId=43&catId=23
also, i've added the option execcgi to my httpdocs directory.
But i still get error 403 forbidden when i try to run the script from httpdocs. any help?
cheers
simon

ok, got it...

correction: it does work - i only needed to add the path to perl to openbasedir.
