Although i don't necessarily consider myself one of the "smarter people
here", i can give you some advice. ;)
I assume your script is a CGI and you're calling it through some sort of
browser ... ? Try running it independently of the browser. Most likely it
will tell you about a some variables you didn't predeclare.
Once you know what those variables are, you can predeclare them in two ways
(that i know of). One is to say 'my $var' at the first instance of each
'$var'. The other is to put 'use vars qw/$var1 $var2 .../;' at the
beginning of your script, where '$var1 $var2 ...' are the variables.
HTH!

it's a pragma.
It forces explicit declaration of variables, among other things.
One of the smarter people here can tell you the exact details of it.

Can someone tell me what "use strict;" means? Someone told me to use it, but
I don't know what it means and it (in combination with something else I did,
I'm sure) is causing a 500 internal server error in my very simple script
Thanks

You're missing a space. "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
