Did you read the INSTALL file carefully enough? I found it sufficient to
install lxr-0.9.5.

Your problem happens when the Apache server doesn't run perl to execute
the perl script, but dumps the script instead. Make sure followed all
instructions.

Did you read the comments in templates/lxr.conf?

                # The DBI identifier for the database to use
                # For mysql, the format is dbi:mysql:dbname=<name>
                # for Postgres, it is dbi:Pg:dbname=<name>
                # for Oracle, it is
dbi:Oracle:host=localhost;sid=DEVMMS;port=1521
                'dbname' => 'dbi:mysql:dbname=lxr',

                # If you need to specify the username or password for

                # uncomment the following two lines
                #  'dbpass'             => 'foo',
                #  'dbuser'             => 'lxr',

Take your time to read the instruction files and even the source
files... This is always helpful at the end.

My advise: you should first solve your Apache / Perl issue.

Good luck!
