in reply to DBI script gives HTTP 500 error

This looks like a good place to start. Or do a Super Search on "500 internal server error" and there are plenty of useful links like one advising use of fatalsToBrowser with CGI::Carp...

Also, you might know that your file is in the same directory as your script, but your program doesn't know that, so you should probably tell it where your program is (i.e. give the file a full absolute path).

    Thanks runrig.
    fatalsToBrowser yields:
    Execution of /cgi-bin/DBI_start3.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
        I just tried declaring with my and the results are the same. Funny thing, there are no error logs!
