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.</p> <p>Given that I would like to serve .pl files as plain text, I tried "<a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#addtype">AddType</a> text/plain .pl". <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_mime.html#removetype">RemoveType</a> also does not work; note that the docs say that this is what you use for this case. <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/flags.html#flag_t">RewriteRule \.pl$ - [T=text/plain]</a> did not work; note, again, the docs say it should. <p>What did work was to add "<a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#removehandler">RemoveHandler</a> .pl".</p></p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=tangaroa&ditemid=18831" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
