Server log is... that is access log, not error log, you want error log like the checklists explain :) Server error, see CGI Help Guide , Troubleshooting Perl CGI scripts, CGI::Carp, DebugCGI , CGI::Carp::Fatals	[reply]

This novice is back again. My cgi works when the following line of code is used as it uses the parameters after the logical or operator... my $data = $q->param('POSTDATA') \|\| '{"a":100,"b":300}'; but it doesn't when the following line is used... my $data = $q->param('POSTDATA'}; I'm posting up the following json statement which I checked on jsonlint and gave no errors. {"par":12345678912345,"id":20} I get the following webserver error message File does not exist: /home/myurl/public_html/500.shtml It looks to as if the parameters are not parsed correctly or are not being received properly. Any help greatly appreciated	[reply]

I get the following webserver error message Its unlikely /home/myurl/public_html/500.shtml has much to do with your program (foobar.cgi) It looks to as if the parameters are not parsed correctly or are not being received properly. Any help greatly appreciated That is what you guess, but guessing is a terrible way to program. Examine the data.
