Error in cgi scipt

i have a cgi scipt which simply do a printf on a web page but when i place in at the cgi-bin & run..it says internal server error. when i do a perl ***.cgi, it is able to run.
i have already change the permission of the file to 755 but still cannot work...
i would like to ask if any more configurations have to be done in order to run cgi-scripts on web.

Did you set the rights on the file? chmod 755 ***.cgi

Good luck,

E-mail me at: b.vandermeijden@pecoma.nl

if (you can run the script via telnet simply by entering the scriptname ("./script.cgi)) {
I don't know
}
else {
check the shebang-operator (this is the #!/usr/bin/perl line) if it is pointing to your perl-binary
}

If the permission is fine, you just need to add the appropriate line before the output of your script:

print "Content-type: text/htmlnn";

thanks guys but i'm still trying the solutions u all have offered...so wish me luck..
