The code I am trying to run is trivial:
#!/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "hi";

When typing both type and which perl, I get /bin/perl. I changed the code to now use that path and I still get the error message :
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@thed87.tempdomainna
+me.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything y
+ou might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Unfortunately there is no webmaster - I'm it. I have a huge site that I am porting from FreeBSD to Solaris and I am just trying to get a simple program to run.

I have had absolutely no experience installing or manipulating perl. The FreeBSD environment was a managed hosting environment where everything was standard and maintained by the host.

update (broquaint): removed <br>s in <code> tags and put <code> tags around the error message
