Thanks again guys for the speedy replies. 
Ok, i did everything mentioned above yet i still get errors. I did change the shebang line to the one i used in my other scripts, but still no luck.
I also added the mime line, but again, the 500 error. 
Then I tried looking for the error.log, but in the /var/log folder there was no apache folder, and the only logs in there weren't for errors.
Any ideas?
Dipul

PS - I don't know if this helps, but when i went into the dir mentioned in the shebang line, /usr/local/bin/perl , i could get as far as usr/local/bin but there was no perl directory in there, just a perl@?
