If the chmod'd properties are the same, it has to be something with your
webserver setup, I'd say. I've never had the problem myself, so I'm not
entirely sure, but I'd guess it's something to do with allowed
file-types on your webserver. What httpd server do you use?

I was originally going to reply with the same thing, but I also got an
internal error 500 when I tried that. I think you also have to add:
use CGI;
. Above that as well? That fixed the error for me.

It's not a stupid question.
The script is fine, and it would run in a *nix shell, but you're using
it on the web, so you have to add this line just below the shebang:
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

Subject: stupid question
I know this is a simple, stupid question, but i can't seem to find the
answer. I've never used Perl before - only PHP. NOt very familiar with
unix
either...
I'm trying to get this hello world script to work - I have the shebang -
#!/usr/bin/perl at the beginning of the file, and verified with my host
that
it is the correct path. The host said to put the file in my cgi-bin,
which i
also did, and i chmoded it to 755, which was also a direction from my
host.
I tried naming it hworld.pl and hworld.cgi, but i still get this stupid
500
internal server error and can't figure out why.
The script is very simple:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello World!\n";
Can someone please help this helpless newbie??
Thanks in advance!
Tom
