Please help
In order to learn perl, I get my own virtual hosting. It can use now.
However when I put my first simple script (test.pl) to the cgi-bin
directory for testing. It
don't work. I check and try everything many many times, e.g.change Unix
mode , ASCII, etc....but it's still not work.
The script is simply:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "This is a test";
When I execute the script from my browser , only the error below appear
:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your
request.
Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the
error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused
the error.
Why ? What will be the possible answer ?
Please help
Thank you

1.) Change
use CGI;
to
use CGI qw/:all/;
or the subset you eventually need.
2.) Close the quotes on lines 50 and 60.
You still have a few problems after that, but the rest is just debugging...
:)

Hope this helps,

Not really... how about
Perl is an element of the set of programming languages.
Java is an element of the set of progtamming languages.
etc, etc.
One could also say
The set of scripting languages is a subset of the set of programming
languages. The set of compiled languages is a subset of the set of
programming languages. The set of functional languages is a subset of the set
of programming languages.
n'est-ce pas?

In general, if you find yourself using lots of flags within loops, you
should rethink your control structures and rewrite them so that your loop
state is maintained by code rather than data. Make sure you're familiar
with how to use Perl's next and last operators; they can often eliminate
the need for flags.

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about
comp.lang.perl.moderated. Answer: nothing.
]From: Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
]Date: 21 Sep 1998 19:53:43 -0700
]Subject: comp.lang.perl.moderated available via e-mail
]
]It is possible to subscribe to comp.lang.perl.moderated as a mailing list.
]To do so, send mail to majordomo@eyrie.org with "subscribe clpm" in the
]body. Majordomo will then send you instructions on how to confirm your
]subscription. This is provided as a general service for those people who
]cannot receive the newsgroup for whatever reason or who just prefer to
]receive messages via e-mail.
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
