Is this script running as a cron or through the command line? If not
then you need to set the content type declaration -
i.e.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
$query = new CGI;
print $query->header;
print "Hello World";
#ship.cgi
( or instead of using CGI use [ the CGI library is a standard part of
Perl now, so there is nothing additional to install ]
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
that way the server knows to output it as html to the browser)

Hi all,
I am attempting to write a perl script that runs from my client's
cgi-bin. The problem is that no matter what file I run from there, I
get a 500 server error. I uploaded the file in ascii, checked the
permissions and debugged it on my machine and there is still a
problem. Any ideas?
TIA,
Riva
P.S. Code (I got desperate and cut it down to this just to get it to
work) is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello World!";
# ship.cgi
