I get the following webserver error message

Its unlikely /home/myurl/public_html/500.shtml has much to do with your program (foobar.cgi)

It looks to as if the parameters are not parsed correctly or are not being received properly. Any help greatly appreciated

That is what you guess, but guessing is a terrible way to program. Examine the data. Basic debugging checklist item 4 ( Dumper ), DebugCGI (Dumper( $cgi ))

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
