The message you see in the browser usually means very little, and doesn't help much. Check your web server's error logs to see the real error.
If you are getting that error you can be pretty sure that your web server is at least trying to execute the script. So after checking your logs, I would check the following in this order: 1. Is the script executable (chmod +x) 2. Can your web server user execute perl. 3. Can your web server user read and exec your script. If you have root access you can try su'ing to that user and attempt to run the script. That would eliminate all of the above.

I have a simple cgi script: #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "This is my first CGI application"; I save the script using the .cgi nameing convention. I can run the script from unix with no errors but when I try to run it in a browser I get: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. I must be missing something obvious. Any suggestions? Thanks David __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
