What code do you have?

It normally means you:

a) Uploaded in binary
b) Forgot to print a header
c) Used the wrong path to perl

Your program returned an error message before returning the HTTP headers. The problem will almost certainly be described in more detail in your web server error log.

I get this error a lot, and it mostly means that i have not CHMOD 755.

But, most of the time, i just think what it really means is:
"I can't be bothered to get your script to work, even though there is absolutly nothing wrong with".

I've left a script like this and come back the next day to find it works.

My advise is to use a proper log:

Add this to the top of your Perl Scripts.


BEGIN {
open (STDERR, /pathtoyourcgi-bin/cgierror.txt");
}
