Seeing this thread brought one simple thing to mind: you need to make
sure that the perl scripts are allowed to be executed by your
Apache web server. We are running Debian Etch / Apache 2
straight out of the box (well, out of the apt-get!) and it works
fine.

Here is the configuration line in apache2.conf that is required
(stolen from the koha-httpd.conf):

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/

and

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ "/usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/"

Without these, Apache does not know that the scripts in those
directories are to be executed.

If you cannot find koha-httpd.conf or have not integrated
it into your Apache configuration, we'll have to back up jsut
a little and help you at a more basic level.

Let us know how you go.

p.s. if your have an apache2 config that has the following directory:

/etc/apache2/sites-available

then the fix is really simple and we can fix you up in minutes. Let
me know, mate!
