Docker httpd apache and getting cgi-bin to execute perl script

New to Docker and trying to get the cgi-bin working in a httpd image. My Dockerfile is as follows. The SED line adds the perl location to the first line of the example script that comes with the image:

FROM httpd:2.4.46
RUN sed -i '1c#!/usr/bin/perl' /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/printenv

I then build and run with:

docker build -t my-apache2 .
docker run -dit --name my-running-app -p 8080:80 my-apache2

I then navigate to localhost:8080/cgi-bin/printenv but instead of the script executing I get the code displayed as text. It appears the httpd image comes with ScriptAlias enabled by default. Any ideas please?

docker perl apache

You also need to enable mod_cgid

FROM httpd:2.4.46
RUN sed -i '1c#!/usr/bin/perl' /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/printenv
RUN chmod +x /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/printenv
CMD httpd-foreground -c "LoadModule cgid_module modules/mod_cgid.so"
