If you aren't doing that then you aren't doing your job and anything else is just guessing. –mpeters Jan 10 '12 at 19:54 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 8 down vote accepted Check your error logs and you will see a message about missing headers, maybe something like Premature end of script headers .... The first output of a CGI script should always be a content type header. Try #!/usr/bin/perl -w print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; print 'Hello world.'; Obligatory trouble shooting link for the next problem you have: How can I troubleshoot my Perl CGI script? share|improve this answer edited J

Configure the CGI scripts access[edit] end of script output before headers To make Apache interpret the scripts, it's necessary to do a minimum of settings in the site configuration. ScriptAlias[edit] The directive (from httpd.conf): ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /scripts path/ precise the folder name http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8809131/internal-server-error-when-the-perl-code-run where Apache is authorized to executer the CGI scripts[1]. Unix example: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin Windows example, use the URL format (no backslash): ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.27/cgi-bin/" Actually the path /cgi-bin/ doesn't really exist, it's redirected to the scripts path, set by the directive, and it allows to write some URL like http://server/cgi-bin/my_script. ExecCGI[edit] The following clause activates the option ExecCGI in /var/www/cgi-bin, which authorize Apache https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Apache/CGI to execute some scripts on the server:

and Testing CGI Applications Contents: Common Errors Programming/System Errors Environment Variables Logging and Simulation CGI Lint--A Debugging/Testing Tool Set UID/GID Wrapper The hardest aspect of developing CGI applications on the Web is the testing/debugging phase. The main reason for the difficulty is that applications are being run across a network, with client and server interaction. When there are errors in CGI programs, it is difficult to figure out where they lie. In this chapter, we will discuss some of the common errors in CGI script design, and what you can do to correct them. In addition, we will look at a debugging/lint tool for CGI applications, called CGI Lint, written exclusively for this book. 12.1 Common Errors Initially, we will discuss some of the simpler errors found in CGI application design. Most CGI designers encounter these errors at one time or another. However, they are extremely easy to fix. CGI Script in Unrecognized Directory Most servers require that CGI scripts reside in a special directory (/cgi-bin), or have certain file extensions. If you try to execute a script that does not follow the rules for a particular server, the server will simply retrieve and display the document, instead of executing it. For example, if you have the following two lines in your NCSA server resource map configuration file (srm.conf): ScriptAlias /my-cgi-apps/ /usr/local/bin/httpd_1.4.2/cgi-bin/ AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi .pl the server will execute only scripts with URLs that either contain the string "/my-cgi-apps," or have a file extension of .pl or .cgi. Take a look at the following URLs and figure out which ones the server will try to execute: http://some.machine.com/cgi-bin/clock.tcl http://my.machine.edu/my-cgi-apps/clock.pl http://your.machine.org/index.cgi http://their.machine.net/cgi-bin/animation.pl If you picked the last three, then you are correct! Let's look at why this so. The first one will not get executed because the script is neither in a recognized directory (my-cgi-apps), nor does it have a valid extension (.cgi or .pl). The second one refers to the correct CGI directory, while the last two have valid extensions. Missing Interpreter Line If your CGI a
