A bit OT: Problem setting up Apache w/ cgi (perl)

Hi,

Sorry about OT subject, but I'm sure one of you will know the answer
to this, and I believe I'm so close to getting my cdindex staging
server up.

I'm just doing something stupid somewhere.

I've set up MySQL and Apache with mod-perl on Win98. MySQL running
fine, Apache serving cdindex html pages, no problem. However,
whenever I try accessing one of the perl scripts, Apache gives
(through the browser) an 'Internal Server Error, couldn't spawn child
process'). The log reads (2)No such file or directory: couldn't
spawn child process: c:/apache/cgi-bin/cdi/hget.pl

Yes, that path exists; yes, I have that cgi-bin directory set up in
the Apache .conf files. What I believe is that perl isn't set up
correctly with Apache, but I'm sure I've followed the docs to the
letter.

Can anyone help?
Austin.
