The default httpd.conf has the ScriptAlias directive you need to run scripts from /var/www/cgi-bin. The scripts won't run under the default configuration though because the httpd runs chrooted to ServerRoot (/var/www default); they won't be able to find the perl executable among other things. The fast fix is to add "-u" to httpd's options in /etc/rc.conf. This will cause apache to not chroot. You should understand the implications of this before you do it.

I won't do this, apache must be in chroot jail.
Is there another way?

Yep. You need to copy every system file, executable, and library the
scripts and perl might use into /var/www. e.g. /var/www/usr/bin/perl
/var/www/usr/lib/... and so on.

The second, provided that you remember to keep all the copied files up to date as you patch their counterparts. There will be a fair amount of trial and error before your scripts work though.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just make symbolic links to all the files?
