CGI Form Error

when ever i do a from with perl or cgi, it messes up. I made a guestbook. When i tested the submittion button, it gave me a

Internal Server Error

Its has done this with many other forms i have tried. Whats wrong?
( i run an apache server)

It may be one of the following problems...
1. Syntax error somewhere in your script.
2. Permissions aren't set correctly for the script. Should be 755.
3. Script wasn't uploaded to server in ascii mode.
4. You have no html output or redirect in file. Make sure that you have a statement like
a. print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
- or -
b. print "Location: URL";

i run on windows..so i can't really chmod..is that the problem?

Try :

1. look in your error_log for error messages


2. In dos , in your cgi-bin directory :


perl -c name.pl [ or perl -c name.cgi ]


this will test compile and should produce an error
if there is a syntax error .

3. First line = #!c:/perl/bin/perl ?????
