RE: [cobalt-developers] perl script Internal Server Error

["Jeff Zanzinger" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks!

Well that fixed the problem and I could kick myself for not recognizing
this.  Now some more dumb questions.  I want to check the version of
perl installed on this raq by

$ perl -v

I believe I need to open a shell account.  I tried to connect by windows
xp hyperterminal and can't get connection.  I tried GNOME terminal
telnet and don't know how to connect.  I tried the command "open" but
don't know how to enter username and pin.  I set raq4 Enable Shell
Accounts.

 Again your help is greatly appreciated.

Subject: [cobalt-developers] perl script Internal Server Error


Hello,

I'm trying to get a simple perl script to run on a newly installed raq4.


I FTP'd test.pl to /web/cgi-bin/test.pl  and the file contents are:  

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "hello perl";

I type http://209.114.220.30/cgi-bin/test.pl in a browser and it returns
an Internal Server Error.

Permissions on file are okay and transfer was done in ASCII.

Any help on this simple problem is greatly appreciated!

It is because you are NOT printing a header along with your output.
You will need the following:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

Add that before your hello world.
