> What I get is a Error 500 cannot execute counter.pl... make sure that your script is executable and readable by the web server:
% chmod a+rx counter.pl then, try running counter.pl from the shell: % ./counter.pl it won't `work' in the sense of doing the same thing that it would do if served up by an http server, but at least you'll be able to see whether perl is complaining about syntax errors. finally, start a `tail -f' on the error log file that is generated by the http server (this example may be wrong for you; depends on where your log files are): % tail -f /var/log/apache/errlog this will show you any errors that the perl interpreter is having while running the script. this is a great (well, better) way to debug cgi scripts. john -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
