perl versions?

Is it a Linux server? If so, chmod the CGI (577 should be good). Also, some servers are picky about having the -w switch on the shebang line and will break if it isn't on there:
Also, check with your ISP about where they keep their Perl interpreter. Usually it's at /usr/bin/perl but if they keep it somewhere else, the shebang line should point to it.

this is the line i have at the start of my script:
the isp's server is a hybrid that uses unix and win2000.
they the isp seems to think that the tfmail perl version 5.004 is higher than the one they use which is 5.006.001. do u know which version is higher?
they the script of perl say i can run the programme using cgi but i still get an internal error. the isp runs cgi v.1.1 i'll find out what version the tfmail uses.
thanks for replying.

5.006 is a later (higher) version than 5.004 adam
Seems to me that your error could be a couple of things
1 - a syntax error in your script, run it from the command line to check this
2 - it's producing (printing) invalid HTML which the browser is upset with. Run it locally, store the output of the script in a file and then look at that with a browser
Do either of those give you a way of attacking the problem?

The options are: fast, cheap and right - pick any two.![[orientalbow]](/data/assets/smilies/orientalbow.gif "[orientalbow] [orientalbow]")

hi mike,
how do i run it from the command line? it may be a syntax error but not so sure. all the variables? ..everything that needed to be entered paths: etc were formatted (i'm using TFmail.pl) all i had to do was enter the paths between the quotes. i was using straight html now i've used css for the form. i've run it from crimson editor and all it ever says is internal error if that's what u mean by running it locally.
i have run it from dreamweaver and it tries to open the coded perl file.
its not helpful working with a novice eh?
thanks,
