I just checked and you're right: This was a stupid idea. :-(

Build the config changes back to what they were. I got it working this way:

In the Vhost container of the Apache config I have the standard stuff:
CGI on, SSI on and PHP+mod_ruid2:

# BEGIN WebScripting SECTION.  DO NOT EDIT MARKS OR IN BETWEEN.
<Directory /home/.sites/28/site1/web>
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
    Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType text/html .shtml
<FilesMatch \.php$>
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<IfModule mod_ruid2.c>
     RMode config
     RUidGid s28_admin site1
</IfModule>
# END WebScripting SECTION.  DO NOT EDIT MARKS OR IN BETWEEN.

This is my test.shtml file for the SSI:

]# cat test.shtml
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre><!--#exec cgi="/test.cgi" --></pre>
</body>
</html>

It will only get parsed correctly if it has the extension *.shtml.

And a minimalistic Perl script named test.cgi with this in it:

]# cat test.cgi
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "\n\nHello World!";

That works. Provided the HTML file has the ending *.shtml and the Perl
script has the extension *.cgi. The extension *.pl does NOT work.

So the easy fix for you would be to renamed your *.pl to *.cgi to get it
to work.
