Which tells me there should have been a much more serious problem with the script than he was leading on.

If you're getting "Internal Server Error", the first place you need to go is the web server's error logs (e.g. /var/log/httpd/error_log), which should contain full STDERR output from your script. An alternative is to use another module in the CGI arsenal: 

use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';

This would send errors to your web browser in addition to the server's log files, greatly aiding in your CGI development. In the future, it would help if you would tell us what you are seeing, in addition to simply what you aren't seeing.
