Hi all, I'm confused with this re-occurring error. Sometimes when I put a perl script online on my ISP's Apache servers, the script runs just fine. However, sometimes I simply copy, paste, change permissions to 0755 and upload a different file that should work just like the other, but it tells me INTERNAL SERVER ERROR. This happens with scripts that really should run the fine. Here's an example script that works fine, however the exact copy of this script fails. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);

print header;
print start_html("Environment");

foreach my $key (sort(keys(%ENV))) 
{
    print "$key = $ENV{$key}<br>\n";
}

my $value = cookie('koh');

print "\n<br>\nThe cookie <b>koh</b> contains <b>$value</b>\n<br><br>\
+n";
print end_html;

If anyone knows what could be the cause of these errors, It would be greatly appreciated.
