Confused...

[cl58]

I'm trying to run pisg which is a perl script. The documentation says to run the script via shell, but I chmod'd the script to 755 (executable) so it should be running just from going to the file, right? I'm getting a 500 error for some reason and I can't figure out why. The script is at http://www.cl58services.co.cc/pisg/pisg.pl and you can see the code of the script at http://www.cl58services.co.cc/pisg/pisgcode

Add this near the top of your script:

 

BEGIN { 
use CGI::Carp qw(carpout); 
use diagnostics;
open(LOG, ">errors.txt"); 
carpout(LOG);
close(LOG);
}

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

 

And see if you get any errors written to the errors.txt file.

Maybe you need to output HTTP headers first.

I know almost nothing about Perl, so sorry, but how would I do that?

[Guest Geoff]

Well, Perl is one of the few scripting languages that I have not learned, so I just copied this off the internet:

 

 

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
