Bug#444048: apache2: CGI scripts entirely broken

root@rofl:~# strace -f /etc/init.d/apache2 start 2>&1 |fgrep test.pl
[pid 18057] read(19, "GET /cgi-bin/test.pl HTTP/1.1\r\nH"..., 8000) = 422
[pid 18056] read(19, "GET /cgi-bin/test.pl HTTP/1.1\r\nH"..., 8000) = 418

[pid 18056] stat64("/home/nick/public_html/cgi-bin/test.pl", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777, st_size=60, ...}) = 0 [pid 18056] open("/home/nick/public_html/cgi-bin/test.pl/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)

as for how the site points, here is how it's handled (i've replaced my IP and domain for security reasons):

<Virtualhost 0.0.0.0>
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/nick/public_html

CustomLog     /home/nick/access_log combined
ScriptLog     /home/nick/script_log

</VirtualHost>

And in case it was missed, in my public_html directory there is a .htaccess file which contains the following:
addhandler cgi-script .pl
