Thanks for the tip, Jeremy - I think I am now one step closer...

Actually, I installed from source. I didn't have libnet-ldap-perl. So 
I got and installed that - and still got an internal server error - 
however, added to that is the message "Can't do setuid"

So, clearly I'm doing something wrong in this arena. To be honest, 
the setuid stuff has always confused me a bit.

I went back and re-read the part about wwsympa.fcgi and permissions 
(node 6), and I realize that clearly I did something wrong, but I've 
honestly no idea how to deal with it. I'm not exactly sure I 
understand what a "Virtual Apache Server is". I don't want to run a 
dedicated apache server, I don't think. I used the standard apache 
packages from debian.  As I said, I have apache as "www-data" uid/gid 
33 and sympa as uid/gid 1011. I started sympa up using the sympa user 
- was that a mistake (although it doesn't matter - I get the same 
error whether I start it up as root or as sympa.)

Thanks again!
