Hi, my cgi compiles on the command line, but I get an internal server error
when
I try to access in the browser
use strict;
use warnings;
my $file_name='';
my $content='';
$file_name = 'testfile';
open TEXT, $file_name or die "couldn't open '$file_name' for reading: $!\n";
while (<TEXT>) {
$content .= $_;
}
print<<EOF;
Content-type: text/html
<html>
<body>
<form method=post action="http://www.ramonred.net/cgi-bin/text.cgi";>
<textarea rows=40 colos=67 name="box">$content</textarea>
</body>
</html>
EOF
# end of text.cgi
I have made sure the permissions are set correctly.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
