Seems that you missed a line to capture the $ENV{QUERY_STRING}; such as : ($ignore, $body) = split (/=/, $ENV{QUERY_STRING}); when (! $body), your if and elsif statements will not be run.

I'm a beginner. The following is what I wrote: #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; @days = ("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday", "Friday","Saturday"); @months = ("January","February","March","April","May","June", "July","August","September","October","November", "December"); ($sec,$min,$hr,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time); $year = $year + 1900; if ($body eq "yahoo") { print "<a href=\"http://www.yahoo.com/\">Yahoo</a>\n"; } elsif ($body eq "date") { print "$days[$wday] $mday $months[$mon] $year\n"; } I uploaded it and it works without giving me a 500 and when I check the syntax via the shell it says everything is correct so why when I go to test.cgi?body=yahoo or test.cgi?body=date the pages just appear blank instead of showing the content? Here are the urls: http://kb2.net/cgi-bin/test.cgi?body=yahoo http://kb2.net/cgi-bin/test.cgi?body=date Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
