Re^2: CGI script gives "internal server error"

default file that comes with apache is running fine.

I have put shebang line but script still gives same error

If I run this script from cmd line, how will perl interprete header message ? If I send a request, then server will take care of the header message. Anyways, I tried to run script from cmd line and got error message

"C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin>perl server_info.cgi

Can't find string terminator "END_OF_HTML" anywhere before EOF at server_info.cgi line 3.

I think you need a newline after the END_OF_HTML, otherwise perl won't recognize it as the heredoc terminator.	[reply]

Thanks, you are right. After putting new line after the "END_OF_HTML" , the script is working fine.	[reply]

This worked for me. Could't get cgi script with here doc to work (500 error - put new line after the EOF identifier, and it worked.	[reply]

Thank you all guys. Problem is solved. I changed print command from "print <<END_OF_HTML" to print qq{ } and the script is working fine now. Now the question is why wd it not work with "END_OF_HTML" ?	[reply]
