In what place I should add this line in test code? Is this important?

Someplace between print start_html; ... print end_html;

Other than that, whereever you want it to appear in your finished HTML.

I try code on this host and get error: "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."
I try code also on another similar host (they use Unix IBM AIX and IBM RS/6000) and get error:
Software error: Execution of /host/h/e/l/p/o/r/subdomain.com/cgi-bin/testscript.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.

Sandal,

Try downloading the tar/gz I have just created for you on my website here.


Read more... (6 kB)

Instructions: read and follow carefully

1. Download the tar/gz above.
2. Extract the Perl script that it contains.
3. Upload it to your site
4. chmod 755 the script
5. Run it.

If this script (which I just verified works) does not run on your site the following problems may exist:

• The full path to the Perl interpreter may be wrong in the shebang line. Find out what the path really is (/usr/local/bin/perl? /usr/local/software/perl/bin?) and change the shebang line according and try again.
• The CGI and/or CGI::Carp modules don't exist on your system. If that's the case try removing the CGI::Carp directive and try again. If that don't work then that's just bad Ju-Ju. See if the hosting site has a HOWTO on working CGI on their site or find a hosting site with a clue.
• The version of Perl they are running on the hosting site is hopelessly antiquated. Find a new site.
