First of all:
read Some things that will make your life easier as a Perl coder
then go and check out Ovids Web Programming with Perl course.
Having done both, review your CGIs.
Then, if you have still have trouble, you may come back with a more specified question. Provide code examples and error messages. Then and only then we might be able to help you.

Sounds to me like you may have inadvertently turned on perl's SometimesCrah option. To prevent this problem mke sure you have NeverCrash explicitly turned on in all of your perl scrips. The syntax is as follows:use NeverCrash;Good luck and happy perling!!!

With the information at hand, all we can really say is "because something's wrong." As Neophyte suggested, more specific information is needed before anyone can hope to offer any useful advice.

It would help to have specific details about a single reproducible case that crashes your system (assumed). What's the OS on the server (Windows, of some sort, I presume)? Which version of perl? Do you have a short script that crashes? Will you post it? What is it trying to accomplish? Where does it crash?

The Monastery is filled with many monks wise beyond their years, but CPAN does not yet contain a CrystalBall module (that I've found) and I've yet to encounter any telepaths here.

You really need to give us something to work with...
