i think this is a security breech to your server.

I don't think he means its happening with out his enabling it, but rather asking how to set it up, I am not sure if I am right but I believe its a matter of setting up permissions. Please some one verifiy this.

I've never had problems executing CGI outside of the cgi-bin folder. Occasionally I will try to execute a CGI script via web thats in my public_html directory and it causes errors, it all depends on the permissions you have setup on the folder from what I've found,

If that doesnt work, edit your httpd.conf to allow CGI access from anywhere

You may just need to change the file name from whatever.pl to whatever.cgi
Then, or course.... assure that permissions are correct, as well as the paths.
