Alan, For basic CGI under apache, you will need to make sure your scripts print out the following before sending anything else: "Content-type: text/html\n\n" If they dont, you will get internal server error. Take a look at the perl CGI module in CPAN. It should get you started with creating some reasonably complex cgi apps. If you have any problems or questions about CGI, direct them to the perl beginners list. Once you've mastered the basics of CGI, check out http://perl.apache.org/guide for an intro to using mod_perl for increased performance and flexibility. Please do take a look at the error_log and if you dont understand what it means, then cut and paste the line you dont understand into Google and hit search. It will usually come up with an email discussion about your exact problem. I have included a hello world script that should work: #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<CENTER><H1>Hello world!</H1></CENTER>\n";
