It's most likely caused my a configuration error. Check the first few lines of the script to make sure you have the paths set right. Make sure both the path to Perl (that's the first line in the script) and the path to your directory (likely something like /usr/www/public_html/cgi-bin/) are correct for your system and server. That's what causes most 500 errors in pre-written, tested scripts. It's almost always an error in one of those places.

Also, one other thing to check. The script most likely is using a text file to store the names of the list members. Make sure that the file exists (you might need to create it as it won't be included with the script itself), is uploaded to the right directory, is named correctly and is CHMODed correctly.

I'm not entirely sure. I used to use cuteFTP which automatically chose which one to upload in but now I use bulletproof FTP which doesn't. Which one should I upload in?
Thanks

Did you upload the cgi scripts in in Binary or ASCII?
