Re: 500 Can't connect to localhost:80 (Connection Refused) at ./sample.pl line 19

Connection refused usually means - there's nothing running on that port. A simple way to test this, is use 'telnet':

telnet localhost 80
GET / HTTP/1.0

Type the 'get' bit if the telnet connects, and hit enter twice, and that's a very basic test of 'is there a webserver here'. Chances are though - you'll get 'connection refused' as well - it's not your perl code that's at fault, but the webserver. You may need to use http://<hostname> as 'localhost' is a different interface. Or check your apache config for which port number it's using

The server is up and running and I can access it using http://<localhost> and http://<hostname> both.. program was working fine with IPv4 Address but when running it for IPv6 it is failing with Connection Refused errors.	[reply]
