Check the paths carefully in the script. /home/sites/site#/web/folder etc.
Try that in the script for the path to the /web/folder
It could be something as simple as a misplaced " instead of \"
A handy line I add to a CGI that's giving me problems is:

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

right at the top of the script after the #!/usr/bin/perl. Helps simply debug
from the browser.
