Perl pages not working from cgi-bin

[dreampolice]

We just got a new Solaris server with Solaris 10 and now all my Perl CGI pages that were on the old Solaris server with Solaris 7 dont work in the new Solaris 10 server cgi-bin.

I get a generic error saying "Internal error".

Please advise any suggestions I can suggest to Server Admins to make it work like it did before the new Server.

Check your path to perl that is at the top of each script (most likely). #!/usr/bin/perl or #!/usr/local/bin/perl are very common but some place have bigger paths like #!/usr/bin/perl/5.8/perl or even longer.. do a whereis perl or a which perl to find it.

Check and make sure the httpd.conf is set up to allow your script types.
