Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I know that obfuscation is code with no formatting.. just a mess of code, but everytime i try and run one.. like that big number 1 from this website, i get errors? How come?
Thanks

    That depends: What errors are you getting?

    Did you cut/paste the code correctly?

      To be honest, im very new to perl. The error i get is the generic 500 error that netscape throws at me for fun :) I copy paste the file into notepad, save it as a cgi and then upload it.. and try it.. but it doesnt do anything..

        Perl isn't just for doing CGI. The obfuscation scripts are just simple Perl scripts that are meant to be run from the command line. They're not CGI scripts.
