how to troubleshoot perl on apache

Umm, I'm wondering how to troubleshoot to see if my perl installation is happy-happy. I'm a happy owner of OS X. But, I wonder if Apple did right by perl and want to check my perl.

I've done the hello world thingy but I get either permission errors or 500 problems. any clue?

Well, if you are getting permissions errors(500 errors often are because of permissions errors), then the problem is just that. You must set all your scripts to mode 755 for them to be accessed on the web.

I don't know what OS you're using so I don't know how to change file permissions on it.

I'll try that.

OS X, sorry ... it's the new OS system from apple that is based upon freeBSD and the mach kernel, whether the kernel is better than others ??? no clue but a happy apple/unix user now.

if it's unix based then i'd assume the command is pretty much the same:

Yep, they're the same except my prompt looks like this:

[localhost:/etc/httpd] root#

hehe, logged in as root at the time, so I could destory my httpd.conf file



thanks
