Hi david2008,

Have you tried the following? ... 

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

[download]

It sends fatal errors to the web page, which is a great help when you're debugging.

You can also look at the logs, which will be some place like /var/log/httpd if you're on a Linux system.  As user "root", do: 

# tail -100f /var/log/http/error_log

[download]
and see if you get any errors that way.

Finally, if you don't have: 

use strict;
use warnings;

[download]

near the beginning of the CGI script(s), I'd strongly recommend putting them in.  They will often help you catch problems you wouldn't otherwise have noticed.

Good luck!
