The line use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);, which should be added at the top of your script, just below the #!/usr/local/bin/perl line and the print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; line.
Example:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl


print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

This module will print out any fatal errors in your script to the browser, instead of the hated "500 error". Usually the information it prints is very helpful in debugging your script.

Cheers
