Internal Server Error

I have just uploaded a perl script. but it will not execute

line 1. #!/usr/bin/perl

It is chmodded to 777. allowing execution from all..

When I try and run it it gives this error.

I know that the script works, and it is merely perl execution that is messed up, as it works perfectly on my home server.

thanks. :happysad:

Try CHMODing directories to 755 and the perl script to 644.

Are you sure? For example, how do you know your script doesn't rely on a package that isn't installed? Error messages will be printed before any header, resulting in a malformed header section and a 500 error. Check your error logs.

Also: turn on autoflush. You also might want to try CGI::Carp's fatalsToBrowser option.

You should never give any file a permission of 777. This gives everyone write access.
