Check your httpd.conf file

Have you uncommented the line
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

Do you have a ScriptAlias path defined?

I uncommented that line and already had the Scriptalias line.
However, I am still getting the 500 error

Is this every script? Even something as simple as a "hello world" script?

Premature end of script headers

 

[sleipnir214]

Then output some headers. At least "Content-type: text/html" or whatever is appropriate. Followed, of course, by a blank line.

You might even try outputting a blank line at the beginning of your script.

[kkiedrowski]

here is my hello world

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello, World.";

still the 500

Then I'm stumped.

Hi, Im in your same boat, it looks to me as an apache or perl bug, maybe getting a new version of apache can help.
Good luck.
