    It's an Apache 2.2.9 running on Debian. What can I do about it?
      1) explain how you're running the perl program, mod_cgi, FCGI, mod_perl, mod_perlite.... what? 2) check the logs :)
        The server is pretty much a standard installation of Debian 5.0.7. I work within the /cgi-bin/ directory of ePrints Version 3.2.4 (a kind of CMS) that was automatically created when I installed the package from here http://files.eprints.org/580/

        When there is an internal server error, I see the following line at the bottom:

        Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny9 with Suhosin-Patch mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0

        I didn't mess much around so I can't tell you about most of the things.
