I really appreciate all the help and patience everyone has been throwing my way.
If you look at the past messages, I was unable to get my script ot work and before that was due to me not giving access to the file. Now I am getting a 500 (Server error) problem.

#!/usr/bin/perl

is the correct directory (i checked with my system administrator) so i'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Again, I appreciate help from everyone willing to help a new guy out. Thanks a lot.
