in reply to Bulletin Board Script Trouble

If you put the following line at the top of your script near "require" you may get something more helpful than a 500 error message:

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

    But don't forget to change it to

    use CGI::Carp;

    [download]

    before putting the script live. That way you still get the error messages in your server log, but the crackers don't get useful clues to your server setup from your error messages.
