No one without access to your server can really do anything except
guess. I'm sure someone may be willing who offers consultant services.
The answer may lie in the error message. What do you see in your error
log?
As root run:
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error when you access the script.
You can also add:
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
As the first line after #!/usr/bin/perl
Is it CHMOD 755? See http://users.iol.it/hpstr/ for some more tips.
