Perl with CGI, internal server error?

[rallan]

I accidentally deleted my cgi-bin directory, and now I recreated it, and put in this perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n";
print "Hello, World.";

I got an internal server error.

I added in an htaccess file consisting of:

Options +ExecCGI

And I still got the same error. What am I doing wrong?

It was nothing to do with deleting cgi-bin, I made a new subdomain, and tried in its cgi-bin, no luck. Does lotus not support Perl?

Where would the Apache error log be stored? I only see access logs.

Re: Perl

you are supposed to chmod the cgi-bin folder (and contents) to 755 and upload your scripts in ascii mode..

see if that help

Thanks I'd had binary transfer mode on, and I'd only tried permissions of 0777 and 0665, I don't know which one fixed it though.
