I setup a subdomain (newsub.sirduncan.com), the system setup the folder for me. Within that 'sub' folder, the system also created a cgi-bin folder. I place a hello world perl script, change permissions to 777 and I get a 500 error. Further, the error does not seem to show up in my error log.
Any ideas?

1. cgi-bin permissions set to 0755?
2. Extension of the file?
3. File not uploaded from Windowz machine in binary?
4. Much different from:
5. For security purposes, set the file permissions to 0755. Unless you have a real good reason, never have an executable file world writeable.Code:#! /usr/bin/perl use strict ; use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<HTML>\n"; print "<HEAD><TITLE>Hello World!</TITLE></HEAD>\n"; print "<BODY>\n"; print "<H2>Hello World!</H2> <br /> \n"; print "</BODY>\n"; print "</HTML>\n";
Nothing is always absolutely so.

Thank you descalzo. I don't know what the difference was, but the helloworld cgi is now working under that sudomain. Do you know if the strict and Carp are both required in every script?

Neither are required.
strict is considered good programming practice (helps catch some misspellings).
The Carp is good because it prints out more information when there is an error. Good for debugging, not necessary once code is in production (might print out too much info)
