Hi guys

I posted the below code a few days ago for a different problem regarding Perl modules. I moved to a new host who has all the modules I need so that problem is gone.

The problem I am having now is bugging me because it doesn't make any sense to me. With fatalstobrowser in there I still get the 500 internal server error. I can't get my test print near the top to print anything at all. I checked my error logs on the server and nothing from this script ever gets flagged. Can someone see a syntax error in my code below?

The BEGIN statement was given to me from HostGator (my host) who has some new Perl module installer in Cpanel. Apparently if you use their mod installer there's that chunk of code that has to go near the top of the perl script.

I appreciate any help you can offer!
