Depending on which version of perl you got, you will get one of the following from perldoc -q 500
My CGI script runs from the command line but not the browser.  (500 Server Error)
          Several things could be wrong. You can go through the
          "Troubleshooting Perl CGI scripts" guide at

                  http://www.perl.org/troubleshooting_CGI.html

          If, after that, you can demonstrate that you've read the FAQs
          and that your problem isn't something simple that can be easily
          answered, you'll probably receive a courteous and useful reply
          to your question if you post it on
          comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi (if it's something to do with
          HTTP or the CGI protocols). Questions that appear to be Perl
          questions but are really CGI ones that are posted to
          comp.lang.perl.misc are not so well received.

          The useful FAQs, related documents, and troubleshooting guides
          are listed in the CGI Meta FAQ:

This should be the first response to every question dealing with perl and error 500. The 2nd response should be "where's the sourcecode?"

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
