My website will have a directory where I do not want CGIs to run. The obvious and wrong answer is to create an .htaccess file with "Options -ExecCGI", but that causes the errors "Access forbidden!" and "Options ExecCGI is off" when I try to access a .pl file. For the next obvious and wrong solution, I tried renaming the file to ".pl.txt". That did not work.

Given that I would like to serve .pl files as plain text, I tried "AddType text/plain .pl". RemoveType also does not work; note that the docs say that this is what you use for this case. RewriteRule \.pl$ - [T=text/plain] did not work; note, again, the docs say it should.

What did work was to add "RemoveHandler .pl".
