Also, check the very first line of the CGI program and make sure the path to Perl is correct for your server.

OK. A few basic things to try.

First off, give us more information. I can't stress this enough. What kind of script is this? Is it a Perl, PHP, ASP, .NET, Java, Python, C++, Rubel, WebObjects, ColdFusion? You see the possibilites that we have to work with?

Secondly, a common problem with CGI scripts is that headers are not printer properly. Have you tried running your code from the command line? Do you have telnet access to do this? Or can you try this on a local setup?

Did you CHMOD all directories and the actual scripts themselves correctly? You probably need to change the scripts to 755, and the directories to 777 - if your host allows you to.

Did you transfer the files to your webhost using ASCII file transfer and not binary transfer? This causes Perl programs to screw up and throw an error.

Hope this helps.
