CGI Script Problems

Post by Guest »

Hey guys,

I downloaded this script and was trying to run it on my website, the problem is that I keep getting Internal Server Errors and the tech support guys say it is not the server, so I was wondering if anyone here could see a problem.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

# $Header: /cys/people/brenner/http/docs/web/RCS/simple-form.cgi,v 1.4 1996/03/29 22:07:56 brenner Exp $
# Copyright (C) 1994 Steven E. Brenner
# This is a small demonstration script to demonstrate the use of 
# the cgi-lib.pl library

require "cgi-lib.pl";

MAIN:
{

  # Read in all the variables set by the form
  &ReadParse(*input);

  # Print the header
  print &PrintHeader;
  print &HtmlTop ("cgi-lib.pl demo form output");

  # Do some processing, and print some output
  ($text = $input{'text'}) =~ s/\n/\n<BR>/g; 
                                   # add <BR>'s after carriage returns
                                   # to multline input, since HTML does not
                                   # preserve line breaks

  print <<ENDOFTEXT;

You, $input{'name'}, whose favorite color is $input{'color'} are on a
quest which is $input{'quest'}, and are looking for the weight of an
$input{'swallow'} swallow.  And this is what you have to say for
yourself:<P> $text<P>

ENDOFTEXT


  # If you want, just print out a list of all of the variables.
  print "<HR>And here is a list of the variables you entered...<P>";
  print &PrintVariables(*input);

  # Close the document cleanly.
  print &HtmlBot;
}
Just as a note, the location of PERL up the top there is definately correct, but as for the rest, well, hope you can help...

thanks.
