How to Perl CGI script in apache web sever	Can't Post

I'm learning Perl . Currently I'm learning Perl CGI script,in this script i wrote one sample hello world program

Code

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w 
    # hello.pl -- my first perl script! 
    print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; 
    print "Hello, world!\n";

I saved above script in /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl
For this I installed apache web server in my machine, I checked this web server by using http://localhost it works fine. Then i run my hello.pl program in my browser by using apache server

http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.pl

but above url showing error.

Code

    Not Found 
     
    The requested URL /cgi-bin/hello.pl was not found on this server. 
     
    Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at localhost Port 80

Why did you start a new thread for this issue when we were working on it in your prior thread?

Please post the output of these commands:

Code

ls -l /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl

Code

cat /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl

Code

/usr/bin/od -c /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl

Use the code tags around the output to retain the formatting.

Run your script from the command line and post the output.

Restart apache then run the script from the browser and post the complete error message from the web server error log.

Post the complete httpd.conf file as an attachment.

What is the exact error message reported in the log file?
/etc/httpd/logs/error_log
