I can run my script test.pl on the console and by calling the url "http://mydomain/cgi/test.pl";. It gives back the correct Content-type, and some html-code. I can also execute link.pl on the console (because it is a link to test.pl) and get the same output, but if I try to open the url "http://mydomain/cgi/link.pl"; I always get "Internal Server Error" and can find the well known message in the logfile:
