Home: Perl Programming Help: Beginner: Ascii format and 500 server error

sergezb Deleted Mar 20, 2000, 6:03 PM Post #1 of 4 (901 views) Ascii format and 500 server error Can't Post Hi, I am brand new to apache and especially to perl. I am running apache and perl on a windows nt server. I have download a script called searchem.pl. However, when I try to run it, I get a http 500 error. Based on reading other posts I might not be uploading the script in ASCII format. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that. Can someone explain? Thank you, SergeZb

If your still getting 500 errors after you upload it in ascii mode: Then post your code. Cure

Apache for Win32 platform runs there cgi(s) with the extension .pl, but you can go into your config file and make it so it will also run your cgi(s) with the extension .cgi I know all about Apache for windows, so if you need help with that then just ask. If your still gettting 500 errors let me see your code. If this is your computer were talking about then you dont have to upload it because your already at your computer. Cure
