Re: stdout from scripts goes to apache logs

Hi Ian,

You're right - I did actually copy just one of the iterations I've tried 
of apache config.

The parts of httpd.conf that I've added are:

## Load mod_perl
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so
PerlModule Apache2::Reload
PerlInitHandler Apache2::Reload
PerlOptions +Parent
PerlSwitches -Mlib=/var/www/includes

<Location />
         DirectoryIndex index.pl index.html
         AddHandler perl-script .pl
         PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
         Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
         Require all granted
</Location>

This has the same symptoms however.

In this same configuration, changing the Handler from perl-script to 
cgi-script restores the expected behaviour...
