I wrote a nice file upload script that works beautifully on the localhosts (mine and a co-worker's) but crashes on the server. Can't seem to find out why, so we went to square one to see if things were working properly with simple scripts. I uploaded this one:
#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "<HTML>";
print "<BODY>";
print "Hello, Rico.";
print "</BODY>";
print "</HTML>";

[download]

which works great on the localhost but timesout on the server.

Server information: IIS 5.0 on a Win2K machine.
Any thoughts?
