in reply to 500 Error and Carp wont help?

First three things to check are always:

  • Does it have the right line-endings for the httpd server? (dos2unix or perl -pie 's/\x0D//g')
  • Does it have the right mode or permissions to be run by the httpd server's cgi (chmod a+x or su nobody -c)
  • Does the bare minimum script work? Insert the following at the top of the script, immediately after the shebang.
    • print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; # two newlines
print "It works!\n";
